The hard times are reigning The world is in pain The kings and the captains they all conquer in vain I stand in the background Just watching the scene I'm doing my best to keep my hands washed and clean The questions are rising Are drifting like snow If you never get no answer you'll never know The more I did wonder The less I did care When one day suddenly the answer was there I heard the man in the sky He was talking right to me He said it's very simple This is how it's gonna be Your life is your own business You can even cheat and lie But you never can count away the man in the sky I could hear him talking Tho' he didn't speak I just understood that I am strong when I'm weak
'Cause man was created To work all alone The answer is written in the soul of your own I heard the man in the sky He was talking right to me He said it's very simple This is how it's gonna be Your life is your own business You can even cheat and lie But you never can count away the man in the sky So live your life as you please And let your mind command 'Cause when it really comes down to it you are just a man The only thing you know for sure Is that you're gonna die So you can never count away the man in the sky The only thing you know for sure Is that you're gonna die So you can never count away the man in the sky
