Lord I just don't understand This strange creature you call man Who thinks he lives by his own hand But I know, I know, I know, I know There's no life away from you There's no life away from you (No life away from you) So I will remain still and silent For fear of the words I may say But am I still in my defiance When I'm trying so hard to obey Say you got a minute friend Because I'd like to tell you something You may think nothing of it But wait you're gonna love it What if I told you I held the one true philosophy Would you hear me out Or just turn your back and laugh at me?
