Unsung Psalm lyrics

There would be psalms sung by a choir

I would have a white robe, a halo newly acquired

I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire

If I'd lived right

There would be cherubs with tiny harps, arrows and bows

I'd have a halo and a flowing white robe

I'd be enfolded by a celestial light

If I'd lived right

But I'm feeling hot and bothered under the collar

I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow

I feel the heat and I know it's the passion

The love I can't disavow

If this is a dream wake me up now

If this is a movie let's edit these scenes out

It would be a PG instead of an X-rated life

If I'd lived right

Some would call me a cheat, call me a liar

Say that I've been defeated by the basest desires

Yes, I have strayed and succumbed to my vices

But I tried to live right

But I have no regrets, no guilt in my heart

I only feel sadness for any pain that I've caused

I guess I wouldn't bother to worry at all

If I'd lived right

Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules?

Do you care what is thought by others about you?

If this day is all that is promised to you

Do you live for the future, the present, the past?

If there is one thing I know I know I will die

If anyone cares some stranger my critique my life

I may be revered or defamed and decried

But I tried to live right

There would be psalms sung by a choir

I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired

I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire

If I'd lived right
