Chambers McLean If He Can't Tell the Difference lyrics

If he can't tell the difference between me and my reflections,
death and ressurection, honesty and faith.
If he don't see the meaning in truth distilled and earned,
then let my soul be burned or let it fade.

And I'll be fine on my own,
I got family and children of my own,
and we'll have wonder love and pain,
hope and joy and pouring rain,
and we'll try to make this world feel like a home.

If he can't tell the difference between miracles and theatre,
Judas, Thomas, and Peter,
betrayal, doubt, and lies.
And if he wants to set it up,
sit back and try to decide,
who goes free and who gets tried,
then he's in for a surprise.

'Cause though we're here on our own,
you can't make a man stand trial alone,
together we will rise or fall,
and we sure don't need another wall,
if we're goint to make this world feel like a home.


If he has time to focus on who I choose to kiss,
or who I spend my life with, I don't even care.
And if he can't intervene, stories told but never seen,
then maybe, just maybe he ain't there.

And we'll be fine either way,
the sun's still coming up today,
and we'll have wonder, love, and pain,
hope and joy and pouring rain,
and the miracle of finding our own way.

If I can't tell the difference between me and my belief,
then I'll see my own grief in other people's eyes,
and if I don't force myself to keep on asking quesitons,
learn to live my lessons, hear every creature's cries.

Then I'll know I was wrong,
and you can throw me right out with this song,
go find your wonder, love, and pain,
hope and joy and pouring rain,
and try to make a home before your gone.
