So I'll just sing my song and I'll pass a hat
If I could just speak up I think I would say that there is no truth
They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
There is only you and what you make the truth
And I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar
Could you please start explaining?
Which one of us would be the fool?
Now I have been sent to my room I've been sat in a chair
It will all go black, it will all go back to the way it is supposed to be
You know, I need some understanding
No, I don't look back
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
Well, I'm not a child, no, I am much younger than that
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
When they talk at me like I'm just a child
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
They will know how I love
And every man wanted her, yeah and so did I
Would He make me clean again?
Could you please start explaining?
And they will kill a man for what his father has done
Could you please start explaining?
And you think I need some discipline, well, I have my share
Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?
And if I dried His feet, with my dirty hair
So did I, but she up and died in a fit of vanity
And I held my tongue I didn't plug my ears, no, I got a good talking to
But now I have read some books and have grown quite brave
It will just go black, it will just go back, to the way it was before
They will know how I love them
You know, I need some understanding
And now I don't know why, but I still try to smile
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
I am nothing without their love
And we will share a drink, yeah we will share our fears
Did He die for us? Did He die at all?
But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit I'm not him
Which one of us would be the fool?
You know, I need some understanding
And they will know how I love them
And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you
Now I don't know when but a day is gonna come
Because the road is clear and laid out ahead of me
Now men with purple hearts, carry silver guns
Then I'll leave your town and never look back
I knew a lovely girl, with such pretty pride
I could do good with some explaining
