Your lawyer called and said he had the papers all prepared
To sign my name was all I had to do
He saw the judge, now he seen me, there's only one thing left
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?

Will your lawyer talk to God and plead your case upon high
And defend the way you broke my heart in two?
Man made laws to set you free on Earth, but is God satisfied?
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?

We all face that final judgment, and it's very strict, they say
When your time comes, I wonder what you'll do
Will you bow your head in shame or will you turn your head away?
Or will your lawyer talk to God for you?

Will your lawyer talk to God and plead your case upon high
And defend the way you broke my heart in two?
Man made laws to set you free on Earth, but is God satisfied?
Will your lawyer talk to God for you?
