Jesus Year (Live)

Lyrics

Well I could have been a carpenter Hell, I'm a carpenters son But I never did like you all that much Some roads they call to you Some roads they scream Sometimes the tiniest whisper is all you need And I don't believe in Satan, ain't got no time for hate I've been around just long enough to get my priorities straight But a man must let go of all his childish fears As he steps into his Jesus Year Life don't begin at conception It don't even begin when you're born Life begins when you get off your ass And you walk out your parents front door Oh but Mary don't you weep Don't you cry nothing for me There's been rivers of pain and oceans of tears But I hear all them seas part for your Jesus Year Maybe I'm no healer, maybe I'm not Saint Maybe these tiny little towns just need a friendly face Someone to talk to them and tell them not be a dick We don't need no giant book, this ain't rocket science And the crowds they will gather Some large, some small Some will hear everything, some won't even listen at all But I will choose my stories wisely And I will speak my words clear You never know who's writing shit down during your Jesus Year And I could have been a carpenter Hell, I'm a carpenters son But this world is too crazy, I've got so many questions Regarding the universe, regarding creation I can only come up with two possible explanations Either something came from nothing Or something was always there No matter what I believe in There's a little bit of magic in there somewhere Oh but I, I just don't know I guess I never have my dear Perhaps I'll find some great wisdom in my Jesus Year
