The Lord may protect you
From all worldly sins
But faith in the life that lies before us
With common sense begins
Know that the road you choose
Whether paved in pain or Fool's Gold
Makes no distinction for your decisions
Caring even less for the dogma you hold
Yes, this taste of life can be bitter
But sip from the fountain here at your side
A cool sweet reminder
Making its way inside of you
Then where are the Lord's wisdoms
Is the world to be believed
Less than common sense felt
Permits you to conceive
