He moves through his life
like a tough Pharisee
Convinced that his way
Is the only right key
Ignoring own sins
He could never support
a good growth that begins
This is one of his better days
God is listening when he prays
And he stops hiding behind a face
And gives untainted life its place
He’s sure that he’s strong
But one question’s always:
Could that be wrong ?
This is one of his better days
God is listening when he prays
And he stops hiding behind a face
And gives untainted life its place
Again and again he wants to be a king
To have the full power to do his right thing
Just saying true words won’t stop him to lose
Veracity means so much more than the truth
This is one of his better days
God is listening when he prays
And he stops hiding behind a face
And gives untainted life …
