Текст песни: The Proof + перевод

The offering’s down, the crowds have gone

Hustled by hucksters, ripped off by the cons

It’s one more show, so flip the dial

Give upon the real and settle for style

Just open your ears to the people you meet

Even the name is a joke on the street

A cynic’s laugh, they turn away

Why should they believe

What you’re trying to say?

We don’t need another talkin' head

We don’t need another pro

So what if we do it as well as the world

If they just see another show?

We light the candle, we ring the bell

Playing the roles that we’ve learned so well

Hungry, but blind to why and how

Still we keep feeding that sacred cow

We don’t need another driven man

We don’t need a clanging gong

So what if we do it as well as the world

When they’ve done it that way all along?

Where is the life that is real to the touch

When somebody needs a hand?

Maybe after you’ve stopped the bleeding

You can show them the promised land

Like the unbelieving brothers of Jesus

Those voices are whisperin' to you

«If you’re really filled with the Spirit

Go show the world what you can do!»

The public prayers, the TV show

They’re all well and good, as far as they go

But those outside will hide their pain

'Til you show them your love

When there’s nothing to gain

We don’t need a star of the stage or the screen

We don’t need another pro

So what if we do it as well as the world

If they just see another show?

Where is the heart of compassion

That answers the cry of despair?

In the hand that is moved by the Spirit

Is the proof of the God who is there

In the hand that is moved by the Spirit

Is the proof of the God who is there
