Unseen divinity; what’s right must be proclaimed

It’s all that we kno - ow

I have a complicated creed; I don’t believe all that I’m told

Hypocrisy is sometimes just a man who’s simply changinn'
Am        F                   G                    Dm
Even the hardest stone can fracture; I’ll fill the cracks inside with gold
Am     F                 G            Dm
Hypocrisy can sometimes be a man who keeps on living

Am              F               G               Dm
Am              F               G               Dm

The bright side is the only one I can look on ‘cause the other’s dark
