Wise Man and the Fool Lyrics

You've broken your heart, you've made amends

Collected pieces, made whole again

And if waging wars makes you more of a man

You've fought every losing fight that you can

But you're careful to fight what's left of your faith

You fear if you win you've made a ghost of grace

But what can you do when your sin is your pride

Can you carry a cross when your hope is a lie

And I know what you think it means

And I know what you want me to say

But how do you think I'd believe

That it's all gonna be ok

How's it all gonna be ok

Well a wise man offers, "there's truth in the lies"

And dares you to dig a bit deeper inside

But the fool that I found was happy and whole

And he never passed a lie to his soul

Now you swear that you've known so much more than you've seen

And your spirit is someone you've never been

But what can you do when your sin is your pride

Can you carry a cross when your hope is a lie

And I know what you think it means

And I know what you want me to say

But how do you think I'd believe

That it's all gonna be ok

How's it all gonna be ok

Was it you that drew these lines in the sand

What do they tell you about the worth of a man

'Cause I stumbled and found the grace that you named

And trampled lines that washed in the waves

In the mire I fell and there I was made

In the mire I'll stay content in my shame

'Cause I know what you think it means

And I know what you want me to say

I don't care what you think you believe

'Cause it's all gonna be ok

Yeah it's all gonna be ok
