Andrew Lloyd Webber - Heaven On Their Minds Lyrics
My mind is clearer now--At last all too wellI can see where we all soon will beIf you strip away the myth from the manYou will see where we all soon will beJesus!Youve started to believeThe things they say of youYou really do believeThis talk of God is trueAnd all the good youve doneWill soon get swept awayYouve begun to matter moreThan the things you sayListen, Jesus I dont like what I seeAll I ask is that you listen to meAnd remember--Ive been your right hand man all alongYou have set them all on fireThey think theyve found the new MessiahAnd theyll hurt you when they find theyre wrongI remember when this whole thing beganNo talk of God then--We called you a manAnd believe me--My admiration for you hasnt diedBut every word you say todayGets twisted round some other wayAnd theyll hurt if they think youve liedNazareth, your famous sonShould have stayed a great unknownLike his father carving wood--Hed have made goodTable chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus bestHed caused nobody harm--no-one alarmListen Jesus do you care for your race?Dont you see we must keep in our place?We are occupied--Have you forgotten how put down we are?Im frightened by the crowdFor we are getting much too loudAnd theyll crush us if we go too farListen, Jesus to the warning I givePlease remember that I want us to liveBut its sad to see our chances weakening with every hourAll your followers are blindToo much Heaven On Their MindsIt was beautiful but now its sourYes its all gone sour
