    Jesus Lives


    he just lives - he just lives - he just lives on the moon
    he sits alone - up in his room - he doesn’t care what you do
    he just lives on the moon

    she just gives - she just gives - she just gives but not to you
    she sits alone - up in her room - she doesn’t care what you do
    she just gives but not to you

    Jesus lives - Jesus lives - Jesus lives but not for you
    he sits alone - up in his room - he doesn’t care what you do
    Jesus lives up on the moon

    he doesn’t care what you do
    Jesus lives up on the moon

    It's already edited! The idea was in part that people should care about each other, not just be wrapped up in their own world. We have an ideal of Jesus - that he cares about every single person, and each of us should too. In reality most people are self absorbed, so I inverted it and proposed, 'what if Jesus was like us'.

    not that it got to do with anything... but are you a christian? From reading the lyric I didn't think so, but now I'm not sure.

    I like to think I am a student of faith. The original idea of "Jesus on the moon' comes from an ancient religion (I think Cleopatra was a member) that believed God lived on the moon. The search for understanding is a theme in all my songs.

    The song's arrangemant is basically EEEEGGGGAAAAEEEE/EEEEGGGGAAAAEEEE repaeted

    It's a simple arrangemant, but it sets up nicely for a guitar solo in 'E', which is always a bonus!

    I'm primarily a guitar player, I write the arrangements first, then I ad lthe lyrics.
