Heaven On Their Minds lyrics

My mind is clearer now
At last, all too well,
I can see where we all soon will be

If you strip away
The myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be

Jesus

You`ve started to believe, the things they say of you
You really do believe this talk of God is true
And all the good you`ve done will soon get swept away
You`ll begun to matter more than the things you say

Listen Jesus I don`t like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember, I`ve been your right hand man all along

You have set them all on fire
They think they`ve found the new Messiah
And they`ll hurt you when they find they`re 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 hasn`t died

But every word you say today
Gets twisted `round some other way
And they`ll hurt you if they think you`ve lied

Nazareth you`re famous son should`ve stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood, He`d have made good
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests
Would have suited Jesus best
He`d have caused nobody harm
No one alarm

Listen Jesus do you care for your race?
Don`t you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied
Have you forgotten how put down we are?

I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they`ll crush us if we go too far
If we go too far

Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it`s sad to see our chances weakening with every hour

All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful, but
