All Good Books Lyrics - Paul Weller

If Jesus could hear us now 

bending all his words 

of which he's proud 

but the carpenter was only 

making invitations 

voicing the opinions of others 

sending down a word 

that travels well 

only as a vessel 

as a bell 

and the violence you've mistaken 

in the words you took to be taken 

and the images of hatred 

against all that we're worth 

all that you love 

all that you give 

all we hold dear

If Mohammed could see us now 

shaking down the walls 

but not as prayer 

and the power games that play out 

and the lies that come within out 

against all we are worth 

all we hold dear 

all that is true 

all that we love 

all we dream of 

all that you give
