Unsung Psalm |
| There would be psalms sung by a choir |
| I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired |
| I’d be at peace and I’d have no desire |
| If I’d lived right |
| There would be cherubs with tiny harps arrows and bows |
| I’d have a halo and a flowing white robe |
| I’d be enfolded by a celestial light |
| If I’d lived right |
| But I’m feeling hot and bothered under the collar |
| I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow |
| I feel the heat and I know it’s the passion |
| The love I can’t disavow |
| If this is a dream wake me up now |
| If this is a movie let’s edit these scenes out |
| It would be a PG instead of an X-rated life |
| If I’d lived right |
| Some would call me a cheat call me a liar |
| Say that I’ve been defeated by the basest desired |
| Yes I have strayed and succumbed to my vices |
| But I tried to live right |
| But I have no regrets no guilt in my heart |
| I only feel sadness for any pain that I’ve caused |
| I guess I wouldn’t bother to worry at all |
| If I’d lived right |
| Do you live by the book do you play by the rules? |
| Do you care what is thought by others about you? |
| If this day is all that is promised to you |
| Do you life for the future the present the past? |
| If there is one thing I know I know I will die |
| If anyone cares some stranger my critique my life |
| I may be revered or defamed and decried |
| But I tried to live right |
| There would be psalms sung by a choir |
| I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired |
| I’d be at peace and I’d have no desire |
| If I’d lived right |
