Lyrics
Reward
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.
We played for you and you did not dance
we wailed and you did not listen
and John came neither eating nor drinking
and you said he is possessed by a demon
the son of man came eating and drinking
and you said he is a friend of tax collectors
but what can I say about you?
You are like children in the marketplace
Shouting to your playmates
he who receives a prophet because he is a
prophet will receive the prophets reward
he who receives a righteous man because he is a
righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward
