There was an old man Religious and kind, In prayers and work He spent all his life. He looked for the peace, But the fate wasn’t just He got only griefs In exchange for his trust. When he was young he lost his wife, She was his only love, No consolation from the sky, No justice from above. The war continued this black run, He buried all his friends, An illness took away his son And life had no more sense.
CHORUS 1: And one day he left his home No one knows how long he roamed But he found the Lord on his throne In the sky. And he looked into his eyes A living man in paradise Oh my Lord, tell me why Tell me why!
Then sadness appeared In the eyes of the Lord, His voice was severe And the answer was short:
CHORUS 2: Search the truth deep inside Men betrayed me in their mind And perverted my Word For their needs. On the Earth you are free Never make a cult of me Through the pain you will know All the creeds.
The man realized The gist of his speech, He left the blue skies And started to preach. The prophet was killed He was thrown with stones, And the Word disappeared In the grave with his bones.
