[Verse 1]
I can't right every little wrong
I can't mend every broken heart
I can't fix every hole in the road
That scuffs up the wheels of your little car

[Chorus]
Nobody knows what's right around the corner
Everything goes in the blinkin' of an eye
Nobody's mindin' the clock on the wall
As it ticks and it tocks and it chimes

[Verse 2]
Whose side are you on, my baby?
Whose side are you on, my adored?
Time has a hand on the hat on his head
And his feet are movin' out the door

[Chorus]
Nobody knows the minute or the hour
Everything goes in the blinkin' of an eye
Nobody's mindin' the clock on the wall
As it ticks and it tocks and it chimes

[Verse 3]
The three and the wise and the ancient
Set out at the dawn of the world
By the side of the river and sorrow
Was a washed-up wizened mockingbird
She said, "Where are you going this time, my old ones?
Where are you headed this time, my girls?"
Why bother goin' anywhere at all
When the river of sorrow is the whole of the world?

[Bridge]
We are walkin' to see past the land and the sea
And the day and the night and the light and the end of the darkness
Where the hatred is strong, but the lovin' is stronger than hatred
We are walkin' to see past the end of the darkness
And Jesus ain't the only one that weeps at the sight of human unkindness
And Jesus ain't the only one that weeps at the evil we do one another
And Jesus ain't the only who that weeps at the death of this world of wonders
And Jesus ain't the only one to weep bitter tears at the bitterness in us
And Jesus ain't the only one to stride into temples and overturn tables
And Jesus ain't the only to stand up and speak for the lost and abandoned
And Jesus ain't the only to whom is the kingdom and power and glory
And Jesus ain't the only one to rise in the mornin' with love as his mission
For the blind and indifferent will be aroused and awakened, arisen and shaken (Jesus ain't the only one)
And the first and the last will be one in the same, as is now and forever written (Jesus ain't the only one)
And Jesus ain't the only that will shine like a sun at the end of the darkness

[Outro]
There is nothin' without, everything is within
There is nothin' without, everything is within
And Jesus ain't the only one that wept
