And the clock ticks
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
When the clock ticks, when the hand strikes, when the time moves, when the words fly.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Days are upon us, nights aren’t as long, work goes unfinished, albums become songs.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Light never fades, darkness subsides, the truth is unmoving, the truth is inside.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Wisdom is silent, God’s voice doth speak, teachers in school, teach what they see.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
When does the world, see truth unfold. When will the world, stop being sold.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Since the beginning, when God made His man, man has been fooled, by what’s in his hand.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
You see there’s a thing, few really know, for what is divine, is more than what’s shown.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Don’t you ask why, don’t you ask how, know God will do it, and doing abounds.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
The truth is kept secret, shouted are lies, the voice of the night, in the day we despise.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Come look around, come see for yourself – others like you still know what you’ve found.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Down with religion, down with God’s rule, is what they all chant, is what they all do.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
But there’s a problem, a big one you see – God will continue, because he hears you and me.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
What is the meaning, how can you say, what good does belief do when God’s in decay?
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Oh-hoh-ho-ho, he-he-he-he, you still must be lost, you still can’t quite see.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
You see it’s a myth, a blinding big lie, for what is of God, rules over time.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Still are in wonder? Worries surround? Fine I shall tell you, listen to the sound.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
God cannot pass, his way cannot go, He’s the God of the living, as faith surely shows.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
What is to say, how can we see? How can God live if the world rejects He?
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
How can you be lost, and not understand? Listen to me – God’s way has a plan. He is the strong one, and stronger than men. He is the true King, and He is still the end. Men cannot kill, they cannot destroy, their very creator, who makes of them toys. When you soon learn, and can know it too, you will shortly see, that God can’t be disproved. He’s made it this way, on purpose He has, to stifle the wicked, and swat them in hand. He knows of the humble, He knows of their prayers, he raises them up, in ways seen unfair. For His way is different, much different you see, God’s way is to give, and He gives unto we. Don’t be afraid, if you still do not know, just go on in faith, and God will expose. The fault is of thought, to think you must rule, the greatest mistake, is to think you must prove. God’s way on your own, the words that he spoke, that you must somehow, make wisdom glow. All you must do, and listen to me, all you must do is leave action to He. Go on in trust, of what you can’t see, go on believing, and God sets you free.
