Learn Your Lessons Well Songtext
von Stephen Schwartz

I can see a swath of sinners settin′ yonder
And they're actin′ like a pack of fools
Gazin' into space, they let their minds all wander
'Stead of studyin′ the good Lord′s rules
You better pay attention, build your comprehension
There's gonna be a quiz at your ascension
Not to mention any threat of hell
But if you′re smart, you'll learn your lessons well


The lamp of the body is the eye
If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be filled with darkness
If then the only light you have is darkness
The darkness will be doubly dark

The lamp of the body of the eye is sound
You take in the good and out with the bad
And your whole body will be filled with light
Two, three, four
Every bright description of the promised land
Means you can reach it if you keep at last
Oh, learnin′ every line in every last commandment
May not help you, but it couldn't hurt
First you gotta read ′em, then you gotta heed 'em
You never know when you're gonna need ′em
Judgin′ only light just isn't just or fair
You better start to learn your lessons well
