Testo Heaven On Their Minds Andrew Lloyd Webber
Jesus!
Youâve started to believe
The things they say of you
You really do believe
This talk of God is true
And all the good youâve done
Will soon get swept away
Youâve begun to matter more
Than the things you say
Listen, Jesus I donât like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember--
Iâve been your right hand man all along
You have set them all on fire
They think theyâve found the new Messiah
And theyâll hurt you when they find theyâre wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then--
We called you a man
And believe me--
My admiration for you hasnât died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted round some other way
And theyâll hurt if they think youâve lied
Nazareth, your famous son
Should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood--
Heâd have made good
Table chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
Heâd caused nobody harm--no-one alarm
Listen Jesus do you care for your race?
Donât you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied--
Have you forgotten how put down we are?
And our conquerors object
To another noisy sect
And theyâll crush us if we go too far
Listen, Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But itâs sad to see our chances weakening with every hour
All your followers are blind
Too much Heaven On Their Minds
It was beautiful but now itâs sour
Yes itâs all gone sour....
