A Little Story – Daniel Johnston – letras

There was this big GuyAnd He had a great idea.He built Himself a worldAnd He put people on it.But the people they turned wicked,And they soon forgotWho had made their very beingAnd put them on their planet.So the God He sent His very own Son,His only holy Son.And He sent Him to the world’cause something had to be done.His son walked around and He told the truthLike the truth had never been told.He was kind to the poor,His home was the road.Unlike any other heroesOf which a song could be sung,He never did bad to anyone.He never did no harm.But there were other people who weren’t so niceAnd they plotted to take His lifeAnd the Man knew all about itBut He didn’t even hide.And they beat Him and they robbed HimAnd they hung Him for bein’ good.And they laughed and made jokesWhile they stood in his blood.But there’s a happy ending to the story.I think you’ll be glad to knowHe came back to life in glory,And up from the grave He arose.So before you turn out your light,Remember this one ManWho lived comfortably in heavenBut gave it all up to hang on a cross.Because He hung for you and meAnd He came to set us free.’Cause his Dad had a great ideaAbout the way things ought to be.
