Lyrics
Godspell
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.
I heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by thieves and crooks
And now they're singing Hallelujah
I wondering just what did they find
They say "what's it to ya?"
Just take a place in line
And wait, so I wait
I wait, and wait and I...
I'm one of a few survivors
In a drawer labelled "lost and found"
Moon travellers deep sea divers
Whose oxygen supply ran out
Now maybe if their gods be willing
They'll give us something, fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat, don't spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up
And wait, so we wait
We wait and wait
yes we wait
And we wait
We will wait
We will wait
'Til we...
You can hear it in the beat they march to
And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby
And as the world moves faster
Whiplashing us round and round
It's quite a slow disaster
And people keep on falling down
Yes we wait, we wait, yeah
And we wait
We wait
And we wait
We wait
Hallelujah!
