Man Of God Lyrics

can he make friends of the most bitter enemies i'll believe it when i see it's what i say can he assuage our moral discontentment i'll believe it on that unlikely day i believe christian science may have something good to offer but i too believe it falls well short of a pipeline to god at our best we are all creatures of volition but when we faulter in adjunction we relinquish all control i met a man of god he tried his best to tell me my human fallibilities equate directly into sin his philosophy carried no weight with me his jaded mind won't let the truth find it's way in how does it feel? can he replace all those days in hiding is it real? how many nights have you slept with regret it's so sad when no one is waiting to meet you but the voices the voices of what might have been

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is about a religious man, and how he may be wrong and what it must be like inside to be him and about how he forces his shit on everyone while there's no concrete proof. i think the song delivers a strong subliminal message about nick racino being gaylees though, but i'm not positive.

i don't think he has any anger towards the man...he's just questioning and analyzing his motives
