What If You're Wrong - The Indelicates

What if you’re wrong, Koresh?

What if you’re wrong, David?

What if you’re wrong, Vernon?

What if all that you’ve faced

All that you’ve based it upon

Was wrong?

What if you’re wrong, Savior?

What if you’re wrong, Revelator?

What if the word and the way

And the truth and the life and the sound

Are wrong?

What if you’re wrong, Koresh?

What if you’re wrong?

What if you’re mad, Koresh?

What if you’re just mad, Vernon?

What if you’re bad, even?

What if all your decisions

And all of these visions you’ve had

Are mad?

What if there is nothing?

What if it means nothing?

What if all that you’ve said

Was born in your head and it means

Nothing?

What if you’re wrong, Koresh?

What if you’re wrong?

Did you doubt

When you walked upon the earth?

Did you wonder, did you falter

Doubt the story of your birth?

They say you grew more human

As you drew upon your death

And humans doubt, as nothing else

They doubt with every breath

Oh, Christ, did you know

When they rallied to your side

That you would have seemed an evil man

If once they’d thought you’d lied?

That you’d have seemed a madman

If you had been mistaken?

That you’d have died a madman

If you never rose again?

Oh no, we must believe, Savior

(Vernon…)

We must believe, David

(David…)

You must believe, Koresh

(Koresh…)

That this voice that we hear

Is the word, do not fear you’re deceived

Believe

Oh, you must go on, David

(David…)

You must be strong, Koresh

(Koresh…)

You’ve a sense of the story

The power, the glory, the one

Go on

(Go on…)

But what if you’re wrong, Vernon?

What if you’re wrong?

(But what if you’re wrong, Vernon?

What if you’re wrong?)
