The Big Reprise

歌詞

The church went down And it didn't go gently The burning steeple fell right down on Main Street The old stained glass Exploded Pieces of Jesus at my feet Molten broken Jesus at my feet What kind of god would let this be? What kind of spirit or trinity What kind of god What kind of friend Did God let Jesus die again? God let Jesus die again In the name of faith and religion How much trouble must we witness? All the wars Hate and sickness Can't somebody's god fix this? Can't anybody's god fix this? What kind of god would stand by? What kind of spirit or lord on high What kind of god What kind of friend Did God let Jesus die again? God let Jesus die again And it makes you wonder Why bother to conceive of anything greater Than just what you can see When all that you can see is The church went down And it didn't go gently The beloved steeple burned upon the tar And so goes faith Falling Breaking me open in my heart Breaking me open to my heart What kind of god would let this go? What kind of spirit or holy ghost What kind of god What kind of friend Maybe God let Jesus die 'Cause we wouldn't get it any otherwise In canyons and in purple skies That's how you get the big reprise Not like He's some guy Sitting up there thinking this is why But maybe everything lets everything die To make us all the more alive To love one another And be really present Right here, right now Maybe God lets me and you Moses and Muhammad too Maybe God let Jesus die again And again
