He said to me, "Where is your halo?
Where are your wings, your black book Bible?"
I've lost them all, but you know, it's not your fault
He asked me, "How?" I said, "The devil
Rides on my back every mile
And he won't take his claws out of my skin
I'm sorry if I'm bleeding"

[Chorus]
And He bent down and wrote it in the sand
Made a wave and spelled it out in the ocean
Said we'll be singing those angel hymns all together
When the army comes marching right down from the sky

[Verse 2]
"Oh, I can help," is what camе from His mouth
And I'd yell, "Yes, pleasе," but I've never spoken to the clouds
The weight, it grows everyday, ever hour, second, and eternity
He laughed out loud, and asked me to explain
Forever, no-end, death, and being born again
"If it's the universe you want to see, won't you come and take a walk with Me?"

[Chorus]
And He bent down and wrote it in the sand
Made a wave and spelled it out in the ocean
Said we'll be singing those angel hymns all together
When the army comes marching right down from the sky
[Refrain]
I told myself, "Son, you better listen
Son, you better listen
Son, you better listen to Him"
I told myself, "Son, you better listen
Son, you better listen
Son, you better listen, listen, listen"

[Verse 3]
And then He took my hand
And we went into the Garden and saw Adam die alone
Saw a baby in the water floating to a safer home
Watched the walls fall to the trumpeters, then to Gilead we ran
By the time we made it to the top, we were out of breath again
Then we stood on the moon, moved the craters to make faces
Stuck our tongues out at the Earth, and slowed it's rotation
It was July in the winter before we moved it back to June
Passed the speed of light, and the speed of sound, and the speed of time, too

[Chorus]
And He said, "All of this is Mine, and yours, too
All of this is Mine, and yours, too"

[Outro]
'Til the army comes marching right down from the sky
