Testi

[Verse 1]
Thank you very much
This fine song
Well, speakin' of new songs in 1955
I walked into Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee
And the man said, "What can you sing?"
And I said, "Well, I got a song I wrote
A religious kind of a song that I wrote
A couple of years ago"
This is the first song I sang for the man
[Verse 2]
Well, the Bible tells us about a man
Who ruled Babylon and all it's land
Round the city he built a wall
And declared that Babylon would never fall
He had concubines and wives
Called his Babylon paradise
Up on his throne he drank and ate
But for Belshazzar it was gettin' late
[Verse 3]
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided and his kingdom could not stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Yes, his houses were built upon the driftin', sinkin' sand
[Verse 4]
A-well the people feasted and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time
All holy things were scorned and mocked
But suddenly their mocking stopped
For on the wall there appeared a hand
Nothing else, there was no man
In blood the hand began to write
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
[Verse 5]
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
Yes, his kingdom was divided and his kingdom could not stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
And his houses were built upon the driftin' sinkin' sand
[Verse 6]
Well, no one around could understand
Just what was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar tried but he could not find
A man who could give him peace of mind
Then Daniel the prophet, a man of God
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
Belshazzar asked him what it said
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
[Verse 7]
That when you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your kingdom is divided and your kingdom cannot stand
Yes, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
And your houses are built upon the driftin' sinkin' sand
[Verse 8]
Thank you
Thank you my people
