  10. Once upon an average morn
    An average boy was born
    For the second time

    Prone upon the altar there
    He whispered up the prayer
    He'd kept hid inside

    The vision came, he saw the odds
    A hundred little gods
    On a gilded wheel

    "These will vie to take your place,
    But Father, by your grace
    I will never kneel"

    And I saw you, upright and proud
    And I saw you wave to the crowd
    And I saw you laughing out loud
    At the Philistines

    And I saw you brush away rocks
    And I saw you pull up your socks
    And I saw you out of the blocks
    For the finish line

    Darkness falls, the devil stirs
    And as your vision blurs
    You start stumbling

    The heart is weak, the will is gone
    And every strong conviction
    Comes tumbling down

    Malice rains, the acid guile
    Is sucking at your shoes
    While the mud is fresh

    It floods the trail, it bleeds you dry
    As every little god
    Buys its pound of flesh

    And I saw you licking your wounds
    And I saw you weave your cocoons
    And I saw you changing your tunes
    For the party line

    And I saw you welsh on old debts
    I saw you and your comrades bum cigarettes
    And you hemmed and you hawed and you hedged all your bets
    Waiting for a sign

    Let's wash our hands
    As we throw little fits
    Let's all wash our hands
    As we curse hypocrites

    We're locked in the washroom
    Turning old tricks
    Deaf and joyless
    And full of it

    The vision came, he saw the odds
    A hundred little gods
    On a gilded wheel

    "These have tried to take your place,
    But Father, by your grace
    I will never kneel
    I will never kneel"

    Off in the distance, bloodied but wise
    As you squint with the light
    Of the truth in your eyes

    And I saw you, both hands were raised
    And I saw your lips move in praise
    And I saw you steady your gaze
    For the finish line

    Every idol like dust
    A word scattered them all
    And I rose to my feet
    When you scaled the last wall

    And I gasped
    When I saw you fall
    In his arms
    At the finish line --- Steve Taylor
