| The hard times are reigning
|
| The world is in pain
|
| The kings and the captains they all conquer in vain
|
| I stand in the background
|
| Just watching the scene
|
| I’m doing my best to keep my hands washed and clean
|
| The questions are rising
|
| Are drifting like snow
|
| If you never get no answer you’ll never know
|
| The more I did wonder
|
| The less I did care
|
| When one day suddenly the answer was there
|
| I heard the man in the sky
|
| He was talking right to me
|
| He said it’s very simple
|
| This is how it’s gonna be
|
| Your life is your own business
|
| You can even cheat and lie
|
| But you never can count away the man in the sky
|
| I could hear him talking
|
| Tho' he didn’t speak
|
| I just understood that I am strong when I’m weak
|
| 'Cause man was created
|
| To work all alone
|
| The answer is written in the soul of your own
|
| I heard the man in the sky
|
| He was talking right to me
|
| He said it’s very simple
|
| This is how it’s gonna be
|
| Your life is your own business
|
| You can even cheat and lie
|
| But you never can count away the man in the sky
|
| So live your life as you please
|
| And let your mind command
|
| 'Cause when it really comes down to it you are just a man
|
| The only thing you know for sure
|
| Is that you’re gonna die
|
| So you can never count away the man in the sky
|
| The only thing you know for sure
|
| Is that you’re gonna die
|
| So you can never count away the man in the sky |
