Writing's on the Wall

[Verse 1]

The writing's on the wall, brother

Your life is in your hands

It's up to you to see the writing's on the wall

[Verse 2]

It looks you in the eye, mister

It's time we stand up tall

Go see and understand the writing's on the wall

[Bridge]

Strange we hold on to things that have no grace or power

While death holds on to us much more with every passing hour

And all the time you thought it would last

Your life, your friends would always be

Until they're drunk away or shot away or die away from you

[Verse 3]

There's nothing that you need, sister

The Lord is in you all

Life is designed to see the writing's on the wall

[Verse 4]

The music's in the air, mothers

You may have heard it call

To you that you may see the writing's on the wall

[Bridge]

And all the time you thought it would last

Your life, your friends would always be

But they're drunk away and shot away and die away from you

[Verse 5]

Be careful going home, sister

Be watchful down that road

You've got a lot of love, sister

More to grow

[Verse 1]

The writing's on the wall, brothers

Your life is in your hands

It's up to you to see the writing's on the wall

I hope that you may see the writing on the wall
