I Know a Place
Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
George Washington's yielding his power and stepping away
Is that true?
I wasn't aware that was something a person could do
I'm perplexed
Are they gonna keep on replacing whoever's in charge?
If so, who's next?
There's nobody else in their country who looms quite as large
John Adams?
I know him
That can't be
That's that little guy who spoke to me
All those years ago
What was it, eighty-five?
That poor man, they're gonna eat him alive
Oceans rise
Empires fall
Next to Washington, they all look small
All alone
Watch them run
They will tear each other into pieces
Jesus Christ, this will be fun
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da
Da da da dat dat da ya da
President John Adams
Good Luck
The lyrics of Manuel's song "I Know a Place" have a political theme and refer to the U.S. presidential succession. The first stanza talks about George Washington, who was the first president of the United States and the symbolic figure of the Revolution. He voluntarily left his position of power, which wasn't something that the people at the time were used to seeing. The singer of the song expresses his puzzlement: "I wasn't aware that was something a person could do." He then wonders about who will follow in Washington's footsteps: "If so, who's next? There's nobody else in their country who looms quite as large." This line captures the importance of Washington and the challenge of finding a suitable successor.
The second stanza mentions John Adams, who was the second president of the United States. The singer humorously suggests that the two presidents have different levels of significance: "Next to Washington, they all look small." The song then takes a darker turn with the line "Watch them run / They will tear each other into pieces / Jesus Christ, this will be fun" showing the prospect of conflict and chaos as the succession process unfolds.
"I Know a Place" is a witty and thought-provoking take on the transition of power in a democracy. The song highlights the value of strong leadership, the challenges of succession, and the vulnerability of democratic institutions. Manuel's clever mix of humor and commentary makes the song an interesting reflection on U.S. political history.

When we’re 5 years old, we say,
“Mommy, I love you.”
When we’re 13, we say,
“Mom, whatever.”
When we’re 16, we say,
“My Mom is SO annoying!”
When we’re 18, we say,
“I want out of this house!”
When we’re 21, we say,
“Mom, you were right.”
When we’re 30, we say,
“I want to go to Mom’s house.”
When we’re 50, we say,
“I don’t want to lose my Mom.”
When we’re 70, we say,
“I’d give up everything to have my mom here with me again.”
You only have one mom, appreciate her, whether she’s here on Earth or in Heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is great last day His Salvation of man"
(Now God has returned to the earth to do His work, He first stopped the strong bastion of atheism. God gained a group of people through His wisdom. He spoke His voice and spread the gospel)
Almighty God said
REMEMBER the EVENT in the BIBLE when GOD did the DESTRUCTION of SODOM, and also THINK HOW LOT'S WIFE BECAME a PILLAR of SALT. REMEMBER HOW the PEOPLE of NINEVEH REPENTED for their SINS WEARING SACK CLOTH and ASHES, and REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AFTER the JEWS CRUCIFIED JESUS 2000 YEARS AGO. ☀️
The JEWS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN OUT of ISRAEL and FLEE to CITIES ALL OVER the WORLD. ☀️
MANY HAVE BEEN KILLED, and the ENTIRE JEWISH NATION is SUBJECTING to UNLIKE PAIN because of the EXTINCTION of THEIR NATION. 😪
They CRUCIFIED GOD----COMMITTED an ABOMINATION--A HONORABLE SIN---and PROVIDED GOD'S DISPOSITION. 😪
They were PAID for what they DID, THEY SUFFERED the CONSEQUENCES of THEIR ACTIONS. 😪
They JUDGED GOD, REJECTED GOD, SO THEY HAD ONLY ONE FATE: TO BE PUNISHED BY GOD. This is the BITTER CONSEQUENCES and DESTRUCTION that their ANCESTORS BRINGED to their TOWN and COUNTRY. 😪
NOW, GOD has RETURNED to EARTH to DO His WORK, the FIRST DETERMINATION is the STRONG BASTION of ATHEISM. 🙏
GOD GOT a GROUP of PEOPLE THROUGH His WISDOM and POWER. At that TIME, He was PERSECUTED by CHINA'S RULING PARTY in ALL WAYS and was SUBJECTING to SEVERE SUFFERING, HAVING NO PLACE to REST His HEAD and UNABLE to FIND SHELTER. 😪 🙏😪
Despite this, GOD STILL CONTINUES the WORK He has PLANNED. He SPEAKS His VOICE and SPREADS the GOSPEL. ☀️🙏💐
NO ONE CAN GET INTO ALMIGHTY OF GOD.
In CHINA, a COUNTRY that CONSIDERS GOD as an ENEMY, GOD NEVER STOPS from His WORK. INSTEAD, MORE PEOPLE ACCEPT His WORKS and WORDS, because GOD SAVES EVERY MEMBER of HUMANITY AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. 🙏
We trust that no country or power can stop what God wants to achieve. Those who hinder God's work, oppose God's word and disrupt and destroy God's plan will be punished by God in the end. 🙏
He who BREAKS the WORK of GOD will be SENT to HELL; ANY PEOPLE that DISOBEY GOD'S WORK WILL BE DESTROYED; ANY NATION that OBJECTS GOD'S WORK WILL BE DESTROYED from this EARTH, and CEASES to EXIST. 😪
I ENCOURAGE the PEOPLE of ALL COUNTRIES, and even ALL INDUSTRIES to LISTEN to the VOICE of GOD, OBSERVE the WORK of GOD and PAY ATTENTION to the DESTINY of MANKIND, in order to DETERMINE GOD as the MOST HOLY, MOST--HONORABLE--HONORABLE, the HIGHEST, and ONLY DEDICATION of HUMANITY'S WORSHIP, and GIVE the WHOLE HUMANITY the WAY to LIVE UNDER the BLESSING of GOD, LIKE the DESCENDANTS of ABRAHAM WHO LIVED UNDER JEHOVAH'S PROMISE, and LIKE ADAM and EVE, who was ORIGINALLY MADE by GOD, who LIVED in the GARDEN of EDEN.☀️🙏
GOD'S WORK ADVANCES LIKE a RUSHING WAVES. No ONE CAN STOP Him, and NO ONE can STOP His FOOTSTEPS. 🙏
ONLY PEOPLE WHO LISTEN WELL to His WORDS, and PEOPLE WHO SEEK and THIRST for Him, CAN FOLLOW in His FOOTSTEPS and RECEIVE His PROMISE. 🙏
People who do not will be subject to great harm and deserve punishment. 😪
