Apologetix You May Be Bright Lyrics

Parody of "You May be Right" by Billy Joel
(John 3:19-21)

Friday Christ had just departed, Saturday Christ's grave was guarded
Sunday came and Christ came out again
And the stone they had in front was a sturdy heavy one
That they all were much too weak to roll away
Now the men they had to guard that stone were top defensive guys from Rome
Even though Christ's own disciples were afraid
But the stone was knocked aside and He made it out alive
So you said they only moved Him from His grave
You may be bright -- I say you're crazy
Hey, but you just may need illuminated a little more
Turn on the light -- it's kinda shady
My faith is strong because I know the way He died
Remember how they crowned Him there 'cause Rome had no electric chair
They slowly tortured folks until they died
Yeah, the Romans scourged Him and -- they said "Take this cross and stand
Cause we'd like you, Boy, to drag this for a while"
Then on top of all the things they'd tried, when Christ was done they crucified Him
Someone's spear went straight through at His waist
But you say the Man just swooned and they all were just confused
And He really was just in a coma state
You may be bright -- I say you're crazy
Hey, but it just may be excuses that you're lookin' for
If you hate the light -- It's too late to save ya
My faith is strong because I know the way He died
You may be bright -- I say you're crazy
Hey, but I just can't be the humanist you're lookin' for
Throw out the lies -- don't try to phase me
You say we're wrong because I know you hate the light
