Learn Your Lessons Well

Learn Your Lessons Well - Hunter Parrish/Celisse Henderson/Godspell (The New Broadway Cast Recording)

I can see a swath of sinners settin' yonder

And they're actin' like a pack of fools

Gazin' into space lettin' their minds wander

'Stead of studyin' the good Lord's rules

You better pay attention build your comprehension

There's gonna be a quiz at your ascention

Not to mention any threat of hell

But if you're smart you'll learn your lessons well

Every bright description of the promised land mentions

You can reach it if you keep alert

Learnin' every line and every last commandment

May not help you but it couldn't hurt

First ya gotta read 'em then ya gotta heed 'em

Ya never know when you're gonna need 'em

Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel

You better start to learn your lessons well

The lamp of the body is the eye

If your eye is bad

Your whole body will be darkness

And if darkness is all around

Your soul will will be double unbright

But if your eye is sound

Your whole body will be filled with light

Your whole body will be filled with light

Your whole body will be filled with light

I can see a swath of sinners settin' yonder

And they're acting like a pack of fools

Oooh

Gazing into space they let their minds wander

Stead of studying the good Lord's rules

You better pay attention

Build your comprehension

There's gonna be a quiz at your ascension

Not to mention any threat of hell

Not to mention any threat of hell

Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel

You better start to learn your lessons well
