I'll proclaim you to the fathernIf you proclaim me to the peoplenMy father said, Church, it's in your heart, sonnYou don't always need a steeplenA preacher's truths aren't always shownnIf you follow a heart, make sure it's your ownnOne man's lifted up to HeavennOne man's cast into HellnThe first man's beliefs are the second man's prisonnThe second man's beliefs are the first man's jailnTo be or not to benBorn to decide what will set you freennWhen it's said and donenSit back and watch the shownWhen it all goes downnThere ain't nobody knowsnnI got something on my mindnThat I can't ignorenI gotta tell you the truthnThe devil comes rapping at my back doornSometimes I don't know what to donI see the light and it starts to fadenIt blinds my eyes as I turn awaynnThe offer's on the tablenThe pen's in my handnThe devil thinks she's got a dealnTemptation road may be paved in goldnBut the gravel one is better my friend
