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
Verse
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
Verse
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
Coda
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
