Beware!

Well I lived in that town 'til I was 17
When I moved to the mountains that rose from the sea
Well, they taught me to pray each and every day
Well I lived in that town 'til I was 17
When I moved to the mountains that rose from the sea
Well, they taught me to pray each and every day
They said if I didn’t, the devil, he would take me
So I threw my hands up, and I spoke to the Lord
I said «I'm a sinner, and a? poet
It seems that God was in the Earth, oh no words did I hear
Could it be I was talkin' to no one?
Please beware, in a mysterious way, God is here
Please beware, he’s your pity, your pain, he’s your fear
Please remember, my son, what I’ve taught you ain’t much
It is God who will take you from here
Well I cannot deny that the Lord might exhist
But he ain’t quite the problem to answers we have missed
Just don’t base your whole life off of one bad disguise
You never know behind which mask he is lookin'
And if it comfort or peace in religion you seek
And it makes you feel whole, then it worked, don’t you think?
We can argue and scream, paint each other obscene
But I have recently known, it don’t matter
Please beware, in a mysterious way, God is here
Please beware, he’s your pity, your pain, he’s your fear
Please remember, my son, what I’ve taught you ain’t much
It is God who will take you from here
