The Wonder

(album: Real Heart - 2022)

I think she did it, I think she killed that man
And I can see him buried beneath the sand
Eyes wide open, lips still moving, saying
Whose law are we under
The lighting or the thunder
Jesus or his mother
Jesus or his mother

The girls all knew it, the way he stared and spit
He thought he could do it and get away with it
Then when it backfired the men from the town all wondered
Whose law are we under
The healer or the hunter
Jesus or his mother
Jesus or his mother

For many years many men
Have claimed that God is a man like them
To justify the way they act
Now it's time for the big payback

Here in the courtroom, her lawyer is a man
A man pounds the gavel, a man fills the witness stand
But in the jury one woman holds the verdict
Whose law are we under
The bible or the wonder
It's one or the other
Jesus or his mother
Jesus or his mother
