I will be a fool today I'm scared of what tomorrow brings Tears will flow, I'll beat myself But I'm too proud to ever change Lord give me the strength to be A man who could never be loved Fearful, reckless, lazy, thoughtless, Charmless traits betide my mind Money buys the easy life The easy life Ain't easy at all No sound of love will deafen me No sound of love will deafen me No resounding gong will echo here No resounding gong will echo here Pride is kept from questioning His gatekeeper is arrogance Wise men preach with healing words The wicked teach cutting remarks Beware romantic gestures Are investments in your vanity I hope I'm not too despicable To bring ruin to love's purity No sound of love will deafen me No sound of love will deafen me No resounding gong will echo here No resounding gong will echo here When I'm in turmoil my Lord is with me When I'm in turmoil my Lord is with me When I'm in turmoil my Lord is with me When I'm in turmoil my Lord is with me
