Godspell

I've heard about a great big swindle

I read about it in a book

The book flew out the window

Was later found by thieves and crooks

And now

They're singing hallelujah

I'm wondering just what did they find

They say "what's it to ya "

Just take a place in line

And wait

So I wait

I wait

And wait

And I

I'm one of a few survivors

I'm a drawer labelled "lost and found"

Moon travellers and deep sea divers

Whose oxygen supply ran out

Now maybe if their gods be willing

They'll give us something fill our empty cups

Sit down in the boat don't spill it

Or we'll just have to line back up

And wait

So we wait

We wait

And wait

Yes we wait

And we wait

We will wait

We will wait

'Til we

You can hear it in the beat they march to

And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance

You can tell by the way they move you

It's not murder it's an act of faith baby

And as the world moves faster

Whiplashing us round and round

It's quite a slow disaster

But people keep on falling down

As they wait

We wait

And we wait

We wait

And we wait

We wait

Hallelujah
