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      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      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      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
