[Intro] [bright brass stabs, slap bass, tight funk drums] [clean electric guitar scratches] [Verse 1] [soulful male vocals] The master appeared and gave to each one Five talents to some and two to another To every woman and every man According to need and the power they can [Pre-Chorus] [female vocals enter] He looked in their eyes and spoke so clear With wisdom and light for all to hear [Chorus] [full band, harmonized choir] Follow the laws and leave your greed Walk the path where the righteous lead Don't be like those lost in desire Burning away in their selfish fire [Verse 2] [male vocals] The master returned to see what they'd done With the talents he gave when the journey begun Some had grown more and some stayed the same But one hid it all and bore only shame [Pre-Chorus] [female vocals] He looked in their eyes and spoke so clear With justice and truth for all to hear [Chorus] [full band, harmonized choir] Follow the laws and leave your greed Walk the path where the righteous lead Don't be like those lost in desire Burning away in their selfish fire [Outro]
