This is a story of a father and a son
A strange story of ignorance
A story of a man who believed in nothing but himself
ย
He was a great big man with a little bitty mind
Had a great big mouth, you know the kind
He liked to push folks around, make 'em feel real small
Make him feel bigger, made him feel tall
ย
After church Sunday morning some time ago
The unbeliever said, "Son, watch me put on a show"
He cried, "Listen here, people, better lend me an ear
You church-going fools, the big man's here
Well now, all of you folks who are saying your prayers
I'm gonna prove to you now there ain't no one there
If you really believe that there's a power that be
Let Him show Himself, let Him tangle with me"
Then a bolt of lightning up and split the sky
And everyone knew then that the fool would die
Yeah, 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 heat
The big man still stood there on his feet
He shook his fist and he laughed out loud
Laughed at the folks who had kneeled and bowed
He said, "Look there, son," as he turned around
But the boy couldn't hear 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
ย
In the light of day for all to see
The big man dropped to his bended knee
He prayed to the heavens, and to his surprise
The boy in his arms slowly opened his eyes
