There's a time to mourn and it is now
Yeah it's time to cry out loud 
All the things I never figured out
Since I was born there's things gone on 
Carry them from dark to dawn
Gonna shake it out, gonna holler and shout
Burn up the chaff on the threshing floor

Bad memories of days gone by
Waste the present, God knows why
About to break beneath this heavy load
The rage it seems to rule my life 
Anger, bitterness and strife
No real hope to take me down the road
Gonna get it out, gonna scream and shout
Gather the wheat on the threshing floor

Can't see the forest for the trees
Can't hear the chorus for the breeze
Shock treatment's what I need 
On the threshing floor

Gonna let the hot coals burn me clean
Then I'll say just what I mean
Pour kerosene on all the ties that bind
Gonna shake it out, gonna rattle, roll and shout
Get some redemption on the threshing floor
