Godspell movie - All For the Best lyrics
rate me<br>
[JESUS]<br>
When you feel sad, or under a curse <br>
Your life is bad, your prospects are worse <br>
Your wife is crying, sighing... <br>
And your olive tree is dying, <br>
Temples are graying, and teeth are decaying <br>
And creditors weighing your purse... <br>
Your mood and your robe <br>
Are both a deep blue <br>
You'd bet that Job <br>
Had nothin' on you... <br>
Don't forget that when you go to <br>
Heaven you'll be blessed.. <br>
Yes, it's all for the best... <br>
<br>
[JUDAS]<br>
Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please,<br>
Richer than the bees are in honey <br>
Never growing old, never feeling cold <br>
Pulling pots of gold from thin air <br>
The best in every town, best at shaking down <br>
Best at making mountains of money <br>
They can't take it with them, but what do they care? <br>
They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat <br>
Houses on the street where it's sunny.. <br>
Summers at the sea, winters warm and free <br>
All of this and we get the rest... <br>
But who is the land for? The sun and the sand for? <br>
You guessed! It's all for the best... <br>
<br>
[JESUS]<br>
When you feel sad, or under a curse <br>
Your life is bad, your prospects are worse <br>
Your wife is crying, sighing... <br>
And your olive tree is dying, <br>
Temples are graying, and teeth are decaying<br>
And creditors weighing your purse... <br>
Your mood and your robe <br>
Are both a deep blue <br>
You'd bet that Job <br>
Had nothin' on you... <br>
Don't forget that when you go to Heaven you'll be<br>
blessed... <br>

[JUDAS]<br>

The sun and the sand for? <br>
You guessed! It's all for the <br>
<br>
[BOTH]<br>
You must never be distressed <br>
Yes, it's all for the.... <br>
All your wrongs will be redressed <br>
Yes, it's all for the.... <br>
Someone's got to be oppressed! <br>

[CHORUS]<br>
Yes, it's all for the best!!!<br>
