Verse 1
(C major) This is a (F major) story of a father and a (C major) son.
A strange story of ignorance.
A story of a man
who believed in nothing but himself.
He was a great big man
with (D major) a little bitty mind. (C major)
He had a real big mouth,
you know the kind.
He liked to push folks around,
make them feel real small
Made them feel bigger,
and (D major) made them feel tall (C major)
After church Sunday morning,
some time ago
The unbeliever said, son,
watch me put on a show
He cried, listen here, people,
that'll end me an ear,
you church -goin' fools,
the big man's here. (D major) (D flat major)
Well, now, all you folks
who've been sayin' your prayers,
I'm gonna prove to you now
that there ain't no one there.
If you really believe that
there's a power that be,
let him show himsel (D major) f,
let him tangle (D flat major) with me. (D major)
Then a bolt of lightning up
and split the sky
And everyone knew then
that the fool would die
Yes, it struck the ground
where the big man stood
Struck the ground like they knew it would
But when the smoke cleared away
from the lightning's
The big man still stood there on his feet.
He shook his fist
and he laughed out loud.
He laughed at the folks
who had kneeled and bowed.
He said, (E flat major) look there, son,
as he turned around.
But the boy couldn't hear him,
for he lay on the ground.
The bolt of lightning
had found its mark,
Struck the boy's body
and the big man's heart
In the light of (F major) day, (E flat major) for all to see
The big (B major) man dropped to (E flat major) his bended knee
He prayed to the heavens
and to his surprise
The boy in his arms
slowly opened his eyes
