It seems I've imagined Him all of my life As the wisest of all of mankind But if God's holy wisdom is foolish to man He must have seemed out of His mind For even His family said He was mad And the priest said, "A demon's to blame," So God in the form of this angry young man ) Could not have seemed perfectly sane Chorus: When we in our foolishness thought we were wise He played the fool and He opened our eyes When we in our weakness believed we were strong ) He became helpless to show we were wrong And so we follow God's own fool For only the foolish can tell Believe the unbelievable And come be a fool as well Verse 2: So come lose your life for a carpenter's Son For a madman who died for a dream Then you'll have the faith His first followers had And you'll feel the weight of the beam So surrender the hunger to say you must know And the courage to say I believe Let the power of paradox open your eyes And blind those who say they can see Repeat Chorus (run to ) End: And so we follow God's own fool For only the foolish can tell Believe the unbelievable And come be a fool as well
