lyrics

Well man went walking down the path
Decided which road he had to take
On one side, there was God and Lord
and the other, was man's brain

Mankind, down the path
Looking forward, looking left
Never look right, never look back, you don't

Well God said, come on guys, this way
but man, he said, oh maybe not today
And God said, well who am I to judge?

Man looked back, he looked left
And then took the right way for sure

And then comes down, the choir of angels
Reminding us how we used to live
But now it seems we left the way
for sin and we've all swayed
Oh Lord

Man said I'll just stay here where I'm at
I'll let the eagles, show me where I can go

But then came a light shining down
And the man in the front said look out, we're getting out of this town
