[Verse 1]

Never been a stranger to nights in the county jail

Been there a time or two, ain't proud of it myself

Might smoke a little weed, I've heard the grass is green

There on the other side, ain't always what it seems

But I won't hide behind a thousand lies

At least I know who I am

[Chorus]

Nail me to the cross outside

Of your ivory tower where you sit so high

On that horse you rode as I stand here alone

So heave me with the stones you cast

Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass

You don't think I know I'm a jester bеfore your throne

[Verse 2]

How's it feel up therе, holier-than-thou

To live without a care, perfect in and out?

I won't hide behind a thousand lies

At least I know who I am

[Chorus]

Nail me to the cross outside

Of your ivory tower where you sit so high

On that horse you rode as I stand here alone

So heave me with the stones you cast

Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass

You don't think I know I'm a jester before your throne

[Outro]

Faith, true faith

It is your faith that has saved you

There's nothing that you have done yourselves

It is a beautiful gift of God, not because of you

So that no man can boast of His goodness
