Was it true what I heard about the Son of God?
Did He come to save, did He come at all?
And if I dried His feet with my dirty hair
Would He make me clean again?
They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will just go black
It'll just go back to the way it was before
I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride
And every man wanted her, yeah, and so did I
And yeah so did I
But she upped and died in a fit of vanity
Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
And they will kill a man for what his father has done
But what my father did you know it don't mean shit
I'm not him
And you think I need some discipline, well, I have my share
Now I have been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair
And I held my tongue, I didn't plug my ears
No, I got a good talking to
And now I don't know why but I still try to smile
When they talk at me like I'm just a child
Well, I'm not a child
No, I am much younger than that
But now I have read some books and have grown quite brave
If I could just speak up I think I would say
That there is no truth
There is only you and what you make the truth
So I will just sing my songs and I'll pass a hat
Then I'll leave your town and I'll never look back
No, I don't look back because the road is clear
And laid out ahead of me
Then I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
And we will share a drink
Yeah we will share our fears and they will know how I love them
They will know how I love
They will know how I love them
I am nothing without their love
Now I don't know when but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will all go black
It will all go back to the way it is supposed to be
Is it true what they say about the Son of God?
Did He die for us, did He die at all?
And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?
Could you please start explaining?
You know I need some understanding
Could you please start explaining?
You know I need some understanding
Could you please start explaining?
You know I need some understanding
I could do good with some explaining
You know I understand
