Syria; in the Empire of the Ottomans Lies North East of Israel bordered by Lebanon From Jerusalem the road to Damascus is long hot and dusty But for some it has been a life changing, enlightening journey The arid land stretches to the Euphrates in the North As far as the walls of Aleppo - perhaps as old as the Capital itself In this the most ancient of cities more than 4000 years old Is the tomb of Saladin and the Street called Straight |

INTRO Standing here on Straight Street thinkin' 'bout the past It's vivid and real in the heat and dust Stevie was stoned when Saul hit the road A bounty hunter by trade he was just A man of his time LINK It was a hell of a trip for him to lose his sight He was hearing voices and even saw the light For three days and nights he was strung right out Couldn't eat and didn't drink he was out there Right on the brink LINK Brother Ananias came down Straight Persuaded him to eat got him back on his feet He was out of his mind when he saw that light But Saul found insight that night On the street called Straight BREAK Brother Ananias came down Straight Persuaded him to eat got him back on his feet He was out of his mind when he saw that light But Saul found insight that night On the street called Straight LINK Hunted and chased stoned but survived Bloodied knocked down barely kept alive He eventually came to change his name When Saul was called Paul he became The man of his time OUTRO
