Heaven on Their Minds (From "Jesus Christ Superstar")

Heaven on Their Minds (From "Jesus Christ Superstar") - Orlando Pops Orchestra/Orlando Pops Singers/Andrew Lane

My mind is clearer now

At last

All too well I can see

Where we all Soon will be

If you strip away

The myth

From the man You will see

Where we all Soon will be

Jesus

You've started to believe

The things they say of you

You really do believe

This talk of God is true

And all the good you've done

Will soon get swept away

You've begun to matter more

Than all the things you say

Listen Jesus

I don't like what I see

All I ask is that you listen to me

And remember

I've been your right hand man all along

You have set them all on fire

They think they've found the new Messiah

And they'll hurt you when

They find they're wrong

I remember when this whole thing began

No talk of God then we called you a man

And believe me

My admiration for you hasn't died

But every word you say today

Gets twisted 'round some other way

And they'll hurt you if they

Think you've lied

Nazareth's your famous son

Should have stayed a great unknown

Like his father carving wood

He'd have made good

Tables chairs and oaken chests

Would have suited Jesus best

He'd have caused nobody harm

No one alarm

Listen Jesus don't you care for your race

Don't you see we must keep in our place

We are occupied

Have you forgotten how put down we are

I am frightened by the crowd

For we are getting much too loud

And they'll crush us if we go too far

If we go too far

Listen Jesus to the warning I give

Don't you konw that I want us to live

But it's sad to see our chances

Weakening with ev'ry hour

All your followers are blind

Too much heaven on their minds

It was beautiful but now it's sour

Yes it's all gone sour

Ah

Jesus Jesus you listen

To the bested warning I give

Can you see that I want us to live

Oh my jesus oh my jesus

Jesus ah

Jesus jesus jesus jesus

Don't you want me that hurt
