Daniel Johnston - A Little Story lyrics

There was this Big Guy And He had a great idea He built Himself a world And He put people on it But the people, they turned wicked And they soon forgot Who had made their very being And put them on their planet So the Guy, He sent His very own Son His only, Holy Son And He sent Him to the World 'Cause something had to be done His Son walked around and He told the truth Like the truth had never been told He was kind to the poor His home was the road Unlike any other hero Of which a song could be sung He never did bad to anyone He never did no wrong But there were other people who weren't so nice And they plotted to take His life And the Man knew all about it But He didn't even hide And they beat Him and they robbed Him And they hung Him for being good And they laughed and they joked While they stood in His blood But there's a happy ending to the story I think you'll be glad to know He came back to life in glory And up from the grave He arose So before you turn out your lights Remember this one Man Who lived comfortably in Heaven But gave it all up to hang on a cross Because He hung for you and me And He came to set us free 'Cause His Dad had a great idea About the way things ought to be
