"Let's Get Naked" Lyrics

Adam wasn't full of knowledge.
Adam was ashamed.
Adam only knew about
that one mistake he made

And the worst mistake ever
was to give these leaves to us
I mean, our own doubts and fears
would be perfectly enough

but no, we've got to hide them
and ignore what's at the roots
we're told to love our fig leaves
more than we love the truth

But I'm here to tell you Adam
I'm shedding all your shame
I'm throwing off this clothing
and I'm dancing in the rain.

I've got a lot to lose by speaking truth but even more to gain.

So let's get naked
let your shame fall away
like shedding blankets
let your fear and your identity
hang around your ankles
then let's run around
show the world the stuff we've found
the beauty we've kept hidden
underneath these
pounds and pounds
of extra clothing.
I'm shedding my self-loathing
and replacing it with trust.
I'm only here to love.
I'm through with thinking anyone's the judge.

And when we disrobe
we let the light shine in
we strip off the stuff that was left
from the lining
I'm not signing autographs
because I don't even have a name.
I left it at the party in a pile with all my pain
And I'm trained to cover up
I'm trained to hide my shame
I'm trained in the fine art
of trying to stay sane

In a world where judgment's passed
where people are condemned
we cover up our flaws long before
we work on them.

But I'm loving all my blemishes
with sentimental tenderness
I'm writing down these sentences
defenseless.

And let's get naked
let your shame fall away
like shedding blankets
let your fear and your identity
hang around your ankles
then let's run around
show the world the stuff we've found
the beauty we've kept hidden
underneath these
pounds and pounds
of extra clothing.
I'm shedding my self-loathing
and replacing it with trust.
I'm only here to love.
I'm through with thinking anyone's the judge.

im a Quaker and I love this =)

[Ladybuglisteners]

You guys. Yes, quakers don't actually undress durring meeting jon watts is making a statement

[WhiteLight Shaman]

Im through with thinking anyone's the Judge! Come on! :))) great stuff, people!

[moatjon]

A small reminder to those Quakers disquieted by this innocuous but heartfelt message from Friend Jon. We are all seekers. Look to your own path and trust Jon to seek his, in his own way.

[candletothesun]

Naked Quaker protests erupted way back in the 1660's, three hundred years before hippies. . .

[ElJibaroBravo]

The message: Very good

The visuals" Distracting, unnecessary, self indulgent, troubling, immature, juvenile, as far from George Fox as can be imagined.

What a shame because up until it became that way, I was actually enjoying what he was saying.

[onemarktwoyou]

Tell me, how can you not be a fundamentalist and not be a heretic?

[firethain]

not everyone is a fundamentalist, I'm guessing American conservative? there was a reason for the split between liberal and conservative quakerism can we not bring it up? can't be bothered with the quote but someone in the way back when pointed out the discrepancies in the bible and how everything is up for interpretation "turn the other cheek" and "eye for an eye" i think it was.

[ealbeal]

With some harder beats you could mc.

[Gretta Cox-Gorton]

I'm not a Quaker and I love this :)

[Spikecartoons]

These commenters make me sad. Attacking others and making no effort to understand a bit of symbolism is definitely not Quaker IMO.

[quakerbob1]

Jon Watts is an embarassment to Quakerism! I certainly don't know what he was thinking, when posting a video such as this. It is abhorrent to conventional Quakerism, and certainly has nothing to do with my personal beliefs regarding Quakerism. I would also maintain that George Fox is rolling over in his grave, at the response to this spectacle.
