You praise the Lord for the morning light <br />You praise him for shelter of the night <br />You praise the Lord for our daily bread <br />You praise him for our lifes ahead <br /> <br />But if you can't see the devil <br />And you can't feel his spell <br />Someone pours his poison <br />Into another man's well <br /> <br />You praise the Lord for the love of friends <br />You praise him for the goodness He sends <br />You praise the Lord for peace at home <br />You praise him for the leader in Rome <br /> <br />But if you can't see the devil <br />When he hides behind the ridge <br />Someone has to jump off <br />The Tallahatchie Bridge <br /> <br />You praise the Lord for democracy <br />You praise him for fighting hypocrisy <br />You praise the Lord for a place in heaven <br />You praise him for 7-Eleven <br /> <br />But if you can't see the devil <br />And face him at his core <br />You don't ask no questions <br />When you start the next war <br /> <br />Copyright © 2011 Göran Gustafsson.
