How can it be
How can it be Lord
How can it be
How can a fools eyes be opened to see?
You take him from the miry clay..
Sow him with love
Show him the way...
Give him some reign
See if hell flees
Speak to him softly
Bring him th his knees
The fool in his heart says there is no God
Excepting he gives the fool the nod
When the fool again becomes wise
He becomes a fool
In other fools eyes
Wisdom is justified of all her children
Wisdom redeems the time
Humanity
Caught in an
Evil
Net
Thinking all is fine
Who is the fool?
Who is wise?
Is there a lucky door prize!
I can ramble on
Who really knows?
Who can just relax and enjoy the show?
