do it in his name

Some say nothing’s bad or good til thinking makes it so
Some believe in heaven, some say thay just don’t know
i keep my own counsel i wish you'd do the same
cursing me not blessing me, you do it in his name

you do it in his name you know what he would do
you do it in his name, as if you really knew,
you do it in his name they know not what they do

people have opinions, people have beliefs
some are seeking comfort,
some just seek relief
some borrow what they cannot steal
some do it for their gain
some fake it when they cannot feel
they do it in his name

they do it in his name they know what he would do
they do it in his name as if they really knew
they do it in his name and to hell with me and you

blackened beads of rosaries, golden wheels of prayer
crosses with the Star of David, crescents in the air
the symbols of the faithful the truth is theirs alone
superstition, sacred myths roll away the stone

embrace whatever comforts you
and i will do the same
no one knows what's coming next
and who knows who's to blame
why judge anybody, just let each other be
i'll let you in my heaven
if you'll do the same for me
hey, i'll let you in my heaven
if you'll do the same for me


we'll do it in his name who knows what he might do
we’ll do it in his name, it’s up to me and you
we'll do it in his name
