Couplet
GWell the Bible tells us about a man
GWho ruled Babylon and Call its Gland
GAround the city he built a wall
GAnd declared that Babylon would Dnever Gfall
He had concubines and wives
He called his Babylon "Paradise"
On his throne he drank and ate
But for Belshazzar it was getting late
Refrain
GFor he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
GHis kingdom was divided, couldn't Dstand
DHe was Gweighed in the balance and found wanting
GHis houses were Dbuilt upon the sand G

Couplet
The people feasted and drank their wine
And praised the false gods of his time
All holy things were scorned and mocked
But suddenly all their mocking stopped
For on the wall there appeared a hand
Nothing else, there was no man
And but, the hand began to write
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
Refrain
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His houses were built upon the sand

Couplet
Well no one around could understand
What was written by the mystic hand
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
A man who could give him peace of mind
But Daniel the prophet, the man of God
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
Belshazzar asked him what it said
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
Refrain
"My friend you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your kingdom was divided, it can't stand
You're weighed in the balance and found wanting
Your houses were built upon the sand"
