(John R. Cash)
Orig.: A#
C
Well the Bible tells us about a man
Who ruled Babylon and all it's land
Around the city he built a wall
And declared that Babylon would never fall
C
He had concubines and wives
Called his Babylon "Paradise"
Up on his throne he drank and ate
But for Belshazzer it was getting late
C
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
D G
His kingdom was divided, and his kingdom could not stand
C
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
G C
Yes his houses were built upon the drifting sinking sand
C
A well the people feast and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time
All holy things were scorned and mocked
But suddenly all their mocking stopped
C
For on the wall there appeared a hand
Nothing else, there was no man
In blood the hand began to write
And Belshazzar he couldn't hide his fright
C
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
D G
Yes, his kingdom was divided, and his kingdom could not stand
C
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
G C
And his houses were built upon the drifting sinking sand
C
Well no one around could understand
Just what was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar just tried but couldn't find
A man who could give him piece of mind
C
But Daniel the prophet, the 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
C
"My friend your weighed in the balance and found wanting
D G
Your kingdom is divided, and your kingdom cannot stand
C
Yes your weighed in the balance and found wanting
G C
And your houses are built upon the drifting sinking sand"
