Lyrics: Malcolm Holcombe. For the Mission Baby. Straight And Tall.


I have a task at hand
thinkin' of you is fine
so kindly make your plans use my back and arms
make me straight and tall.

you always think of me
through others tried and true
so kindly make your plans
use my back and arms
make me straight and tall.

it's better to not know
the future where i go
so kindly make your plans
use my back and arms
make me straight and tall.

a warm shirt for the cold
a lil' food to fill the void
so kindly make your plans
use my back and arms
make me straight and tall.

your heart is young and strong
many years to you belong
so kindly make your plans
use my back and arms
grow up straight and tall.
Malcolm Holcombe
