The clock keeps ticking, time barrels along.
Day after day, we hear the same insipid song.
The words mouthed by idiots, repeated by fools.
Swallowed by morons, taught in our schools.

Day after day the sun rises and sets in the west.
The earth's bounty is ours, we have been blessed.
Some know the way forward, some buy into lies.
Many know the truth, that they quickly deny.

We are born into ignorance, we are put here to learn.
The truth over lies, it is up to us to discern.
The path is laid out before us, salvation our reward.
Our rewards are in Heaven, the path can be hard.

Filled with pitfalls and challenges, temptations galore.
We must think eternally, of the great prize in store.
We must remain on the path, cling tight to the rod.
Avoid the something for nothing from the master of fraud.

It is what we agreed to, by accepting God's plan.
We must continue to grow, spread his word if we can.
There is nothing on earth, that surpasses God's love.
The promise of his grace, pouring down from above.
