What do you get for trying? Minute you’re born you’re dying.
The body is six feet down.The Lord says the soul sticks around.

You can believe what you wanna but I know what I’m gonna do.
I’m gonna believe in the Lord.
You can believe what you wanna but I know what I’m gonna do.
I’m gonna believe in the Lord.

You think you live on laughter. But you don’t know what’s after.
Singing Hallelujah. I can know the Master.

When my life is over. Lie in fields of clover.
Waiting for my own girl. Living in a new world . Yeah..

I’m gonna believe in the Lord.

About Lyrics and The Lord by Bee Gees

The lyrics for The Lord are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1970 song by Bee Gees. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to The Lord have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for The Lord - Bee Gees and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to The Lord by Bee Gees in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to The Lord" means the words set to the music of The Lord, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bee Gees. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to The Lord and the lyrics to The Lord are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bee Gees who came here looking just for the lyrics to The Lord, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
