1. Well the Bible tells us about a man
   G                     C        G
   Who ruled Babylon and all it's land
   G
   Around the city he built a wall
   G                               D     G
   And declared that Babylon would never fall
   
   He had concubines and wives
   He called his Babylon "Paradise"
   On his throne he drank and ate
   But for Belshazzer it was getting late

R: For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
   G                                      D
   His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand 
   D      G
   He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
   G               D                  G
   His houses were built upon the sand

2. The people feast 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

R: For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting...

3. 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 piece 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

R: "My friend your weighed in the balance and found wanting
   Your kingdom was divided, it can't stand
   Your weighed in the balance and found wanting
   Your houses were built upon the sand"
