lyrics

I was free.
I had a climbing tree.
I had no one looking for me.
I got old.
I learned to value gold and pretend to see what I couldn't see.
On TV
There was a shooting spree,
There were people trying to flee.
There's a man.
He has a master plan.
He wants to make you see how it's going to be
He's gonna lead you, lead you.
He's gonna lead you,
You gotta let him lead you.
He was born in a barren land
He used to sleep with a gun in his hand.
He had dreams.
He heard an angel speak
And that never happens to me.
He must be perfect, perfect,
And you should trust him, cause it's a perfect message.
The police
In our society,
They like to play it safe on the street.
He wants to teach
All of the new police
How to hear the words that the angels speak
He's gonna lead them, lead them.
He's gonna lead them,
They're gonna let him lead them.
He's got a knife.
He used to mark his wife so everyone could tell she's his property.
He knows life.
He has a plan for life,
And he can make you see what you cannot see.
And you should praise him, praise him.
And you should praise him, you gotta help me praise him.
We've got a message, message,
We've got a message, and it's a perfect message.
