Wise Man and the Fool

You've broken your heart, you've made amends
Collected pieces, made whole again
And if waging wars makes you more of a man
You've fought every losing fight that you can
But you're careful to fight what's left of your faith
You fear if you win you've made a ghost of grace
But what can you do when your sin is your pride
Can you carry a cross when your hope is a lie

And I know what you think it means
And I know what you want me to say
But how do you think I'd believe
That it's all gonna be ok
How's it all gonna be ok

Well a wise man offers, "there's truth in the lies"
And dares you to dig a bit deeper inside
But the fool that I found was happy and whole
And he never passed a lie to his soul
Now you swear that you've known so much more than you've seen
And your spirit is someone you've never been
But what can you do when your sin is your pride
Can you carry a cross when your hope is a lie

And I know what you think it means
And I know what you want me to say
But how do you think I'd believe
That it's all gonna be ok
How's it all gonna be ok

Was it you that drew these lines in the sand
What do they tell you about the worth of a man
'Cause I stumbled and found the grace that you named
And trampled lines that washed in the waves
In the mire I fell and there I was made
In the mire I'll stay content in my shame

'Cause I know what you think it means
And I know what you want me to say
I don't care what you think you believe
'Cause it's all gonna be ok
Yeah it's all gonna be ok
