Michael Ward With Dogs and Fishes - God Through a Crack

This story's told so often it's a hand me down
It told the story of how the golden tablets could be found
It said be looking for the shaft of light
And then get ready for the midnight flight
'Cause revelation is a mighty weight
Information from a higher state
As if you need a reason to believe
But have you looked at a Map?
Do you know where we are?
Is this some kind of joke?
How could it be when we traveled so far?
A preacher's trap
To follow signs in the air
A donkey in his yoke
Tied to rock in the middle of nowhere
This story must be written as a hand me down
He said he got it from an angel who he thought was new in town
And every word of it he swore was true
To any infidel without a clue
That book was proof of everything he wrote
In fact, the angel testified to every quote
And who am I to contradict belief?
But have you looked at a Map?
Do you know where we are?
Is this some kind of joke?
How could it be when we traveled so far?
A preacher's trap
To follow signs in the air
A donkey in his yoke
Tied to rock in the middle of nowhere
Now faith is the goal of the faithful
When you give it away
Yeah you give it away
No wait for the soul to be grateful
When you it away
For the drink of the day
Endorphins churning
Eyes rolling back
A lick of flame burning like God through a crack
This story makes its living as a hand me down
And this prophet wore that word like any other crown
And so, he led them to the promise land
A burning place of salt rock and sand
And there he showed them where to sow their seed
Where the friend would flourish
And the foe would bleed
And all the faithful live like they believe
But have you looked at a Map?
Do you know where we are?
Is this some kind of joke?
How could it be when we traveled so far?
A preacher's trap
To follow signs in the air
A donkey in his yoke
Tied to rock in the middle of nowhere
