Carry You Home--Cross Canadian Ragweed
One day Jesus, He's gonna come back,
And say: "Enough of this, you're getting' way off track.
"All the stealin', cheatin', lyin', all the little babies cryin'.
"Well, I'll tell you I can't take anymore.
"'Cause I died for your sins so long ago.
"It seems you forget with every day that rolls.
"I'm gonna stop it all right now,
"Before it gets way out of control."
Everybody gonna stand in line,
When it comes to the judgement time.
Pick the side of the fence that you're on,
When He comes to carry you home.
Now if you wanna kill and die for your God,
That's your prerogative, but I'll tell you that you're wrong.
I think God, He's an understanding man,
But I don't think that's part of his plan.
'Cause he wants us all to live in harmony;
Take care of one another when we need.
So if you want to rant and rave, murder and corrupt,
Stay away from the ones that I love.
An' everybody gonna stand in line,
When it comes to the judgement time.
Pick the side of the fence that you're on,
When He comes to carry you home.
Instrumental break.
I'm not pointin' fingers, don't get me wrong,
'Cause I drink and smoke and cuss and I carry on
Well, this is my opinion, that's all that it is,
To let you know that my devotion is His.
Well, I'll admit that I'm not a Saint:
I know what I can - I know what I can't do.
I can't judge your right from your wrong,
You are you and I am my own.
I don't read the Bible everyday.
I can't understand most of it anyway.
But I know where I'll go,
When my number is shown.
An' everybody gonna stand in line,
When it comes to the judgement time.
Pick the side of the fence that you're on,
When He comes to carry you home.
Carry you home.
Carry you home.
Carry you home.

This song is primarily about one man's understanding of his religion and the flaws he sees in the world when comparing it to what he believes people should behave like. While little is actually said about the interpretation of Jesus, it seems that the writer senses that people are straying far away from the teachings of Jesus; mostly about loving your neighbor and being peaceful rather than violent. The first two verses clearly show that he thinks Jesus would be severely disappointed in the way we are currently living our lives. The way the chorus is written leads me to believe that the writer is portraying Jesus as either a savior or condemner. The writer is challenging his audience to change the way they live to be more like Jesus in order to ensure their placement into Heaven once they pass away.
*Disregard the video. It was the only video on Youtube I could find with this song.
