Seems I've imagined Him all of my life
  As the wisest of all of mankind
  But if God's Holy wisdom is foolish to men
  He must have seemed out of His mind
  
  For even His family said He was mad
  And the priests said a demon's to blame
  But God in the form of this angry young man
  Could not have seemed perfectly sane
  
  Chorus
  When we in our foolishness thought we were wise
  He played the fool and He opened our eyes
  When we in our weakness believed we were strong
  He became helpless to show we were wrong
  And so we follow God's own fool
  For only the foolish can tell-
  Believe the unbelievable
  And come be a fool as well
  
  So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
  For a madman who died for a dream
  And you'll have the faith His first followers had
  And you'll feel the weight of the beam
  So surrender the hunger to say you must know
  Have the courage to say I believe
  For the power of paradox opens your eyes
  And blinds those who say they can see
  
  Chorus
  
  So we follow God's own Fool
  For only the foolish can tell
  Believe the unbelievable,
  And come be a fool as well
