Book of Life
[Intro]
Woo hoo -- ah woo hoo
Ah woo hoo
[Verse 1]
Here come Johnny bringing scrolls he's holding
He got illuminated, some might say
Here come Johnny saying, "I got a vision"
Found in the Bible on the latest page
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's got real action and raw emotion
Oh yeah, the boy can say
The Revelation -- he wrote it
And Terminator's right 'bout Judgment Day
[Chorus 1]
It's wrong about the mean and ugly robot
But still there's someone that arrives
And you've been logged -- into the Book of Life?
Yeah, into the Book of Life
[Turnaround]
Ah woo hoo!
[Verse 2]
Here come Johnny gonna tell what the Lord said
And He tells us what ensues
He'll come down here with the power and the glory
Bad deeds He'll not excuse
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He wants compassion, He wants devotion
Oh yeah, and boisterous faith
But hesitation revolts Him
He's turning out the lights at the end of the day
[Chorus 2]
But some will have a single-minded moment
And choose the Son of God tonight
Yeah, those who were logged -- into the Book of Life
Yeah, into the Book of Life
[Turnaround]
Woo hoo hoo
[Verse 3]
Here come Johnny bringing holy warning:
Hey, Babylonia, take heed what I say
Here come Johnny sayin' my God is comin'
Now you're in trouble gonna make you pay
[Pre-Chorus 3]
He saw your actions, He saw your motives
Oh yeah, and choices made
And yet He gave us the notion
Eternity's a nice time if you're saved
[Chorus 3]
And after all Messiah did upon the cross
He saves us from the coming trouble and the strife
If you've been logged -- yeah, into the Book of Life
Mmm, into the Book of Life
[Outro]
Ah woo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Ah woo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
