The Proof - Don Francisco

The Proof - Don Francisco
The offering's down the crowds have gone
Hustled by hucksters ripped off by the cons
It's one more show so flip the dial
Give up on the real and settle for style
Just open your ears to the people you meet
Even the name is a joke on the street
A cynic's laugh they turn away
Why should they believe
What you're trying to say
We don't need another talkin' head
We don't need another pro
So what if we do it as well as the
World
If they just see another show
We light the candle we ring the bell
Playing the roles that we've learned so well
Hungry but blind to why and how
Still we keep feeding that sacred cow
We don't need another driven man
We don't need a clanging gong
So what if we do it as well as the
World
When they've done it that way all along
Where is the life that is real to the touch
When somebody needs a hand
Maybe after you've stopped the bleeding
You can show them the promised land
Just like the unbelieving brothers of Jesus
Those voices are whisperin' to you
If you're really filled with the spirit
Go show the world what you can do
The public prayers the tv show
They're all well and good as far as they go
But those outside will hide their pain
'Til you show them your love
When there's nothing to gain
We don't need a star of the stage or the
Screen
We don't need another pro
So what if we do it as well as the
World
If they just see another show
Where is the heart of compassion
That answers the cry of despair
In the hand that is moved by the spirit
Is the proof of the God who is there
In the hand that is moved by the spirit
Is the proof of the God who is there
