Shot Down - Larry Norman

I’ve been shot down, talked about

Some people scandalize my name

But here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same

I’ve been knocked down, kicked around

But like a moth drawn to the flame

Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same

I’ve been rebuked for the things I’ve said

For the songs I’ve written and the life I’ve led

They say they don’t understand me, well I’m not surprised

Because you can’t see nothing when you close your eyes

They say I’m sinful, backslidden

That I have left to follow fame

But here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same

You wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me

You got your facts all backwards, one two three

Spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game

The only name to spread is Jesus' name

I’ve been knocked down, kicked around

But like a moth drawn to the flame

Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus brother

Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus sister

Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same
