0:34Seemed the better way
0:38When first I heard him speak
0:43Now it's much to late
0:47To turn the other cheek
0:52Sounded like the truth
0:57Seemed the better way
1:01Sounded like the truth
1:05But it's not the truth today
1:10I wonder what it was
1:15I wonder what it meant
1:20First he touched on love
1:24Then he touched on death
1:29Sounded like the truth
1:33Seemed the better way
1:38Sounded like the truth
1:42But it's not the truth today
1:47I better hold my tongue
1:52I better take my place
1:57Lift this glass of blood
2:01Try to say the grace
2:24Seemed the better way
2:29When first I heard him speak
2:34But now it's much to late
2:38To turn the other cheek
2:43Sounded like the truth
2:47Seemed the better way
2:52Sounded like the truth
2:56But it's not the truth today
3:01I better hold my tongue
3:06I better take my place
3:11Lift this glass of blood
3:15Try to say the grace
Seemed the better way When first I heard him speak Now it's much to late To turn the other cheek Sounded like the truth Seemed the better way Sounded like the truth But it's not the truth today I wonder what it was I wonder what it meant First he touched on love Then he touched on death Sounded like the truth Seemed the better way Sounded like the truth But it's not the truth today I better hold my tongue I better take my place Lift this glass of blood Try to say the grace Seemed the better way When first I heard him speak But now it's much to late To turn the other cheek Sounded like the truth Seemed the better way Sounded like the truth But it's not the truth today I better hold my tongue I better take my place Lift this glass of blood Try to say the grace
