Reason
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If God is on your side
And God is on their side
Why must you collide?
Come on cross that small divide
[chorus]
Men of reason where are you
Women of reason we need you too
Wolf is knocking at your door
With his bible in his paw
What you believe not the same as what you know
'Cos you believe doesn't necessary make it so.
When you're pointing the finger of God on high
Remember, oh my oh my
You may be sincerely telling a great big lie
[chorus]
Books were written by men
Was men who said that they were God inspired
'Cos you don't understand it
Don't mean there has to be some grand design
When you're pointing the finger of God on high
Remember, oh my oh my
You may be sincerely telling a great big lie...
If God is on your side
And God is on their side
Why must you collide?
Come on cross that small divide
[chorus]
[chorus]
