Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a time, where you and me lived in infinity There were two of us, a God of love and a God of evil Something about polarity - you know, day and night Black and white, hot and cold, wrong and right, life and death Polarity, without the opposite we could never be Now this is all-knowing entity of good and evil Decided that the place was awfully lonely So they decided that they would create a world Of insects and flowers and animals and birds and life untold Worlds within a world of good things for the good And evil things for the evil, and there was jealousy [Verse 2] Now comes man Devil wanted to have all the control But the Good Lord said "We gonna have to share equally in this here human soul But we will give man understanding and reason to decide Whether to join a God of love and peace Or burn in your eternal fire" Lord, have mercy and stay with me Good God said, "I really, I really want to Love 'em and give 'em all the things that they desire And bless 'em and love 'em so much and I got to give 'em reason 'cause I want 'em to come back to me When the power of evil is all gone" [Verse 3] Whoa, some souls are ready to rejoin the Lord of love (And no need to mourn) Did you ever wonder why a little baby cry when he's born? His soul isn't happy 'cause we got to give up all the sin But we coming a-home my friend until the soul is ready to be Spirit again Good Lord don't mind, when you're ready, He'll be ready 'Cause time don't mean a thing to these Lords The Evil Lord don't mind if you're not ready He wants you to bring your soul to him It's a power struggle, my friend A Buddhist monk can burn his body without a flinch I think he's ready [Verse 4] The Evil Lord tempts a man with the things Heart and the soul and the flesh That you put on him and desire, to keep him from you: "I don't think you shoulda did right, you give him too much power I'll make him destroy all we created - weak and foolish, baby" And the Good Lord said, "No, no, I know know know Mankind can feel my love" And the Evil Lord said "No, no, no, no, no, no, I want 'em all You shouldn't have gave him reason You shouldn't have gave him reason" 'Cause we are the soul to the mind And the mind to the brain and the brain to the body Get what the soul desires And Evil said "I got what the soul desires for mankind's flesh Having fun, and uh, I know what they like and I'm gonna put it on 'em, baby 'Cause your body's really nothing now But a safe for the soul" [Outro] And then the Good Lord says "You can listen to me, I'm in your soul Your decision is free I gave you reason, and don't you wanna be with me, do right?" Walk in the light, I love, baby
