Lyrics
Why Do Coelacanths Exist?
Parody of "While You See a Chance" performed by Steve Winwood and written by Steve Winwood & Will Jennings
(Romans 1:18-23, Psalm 19:1-11, 1 Corinthians 3:18-21)
Stuck up with a theory you mortgaged
But real truth's free
What you need to know has been told before this
While you still speak fantasies
When Christ's call to follow finds you
When God subtly reminds you
How He planned and so designed you
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer; face it
Because it's all a clue
Don't you know by now
No one hid your missing link?
The goalposts of the proud, they keep on movin'
Come on, babe — don't wait
Go! You're late
When there’s hopelessness that grieves you
Even you don’t like the previews
That’s when bluffing can’t deceive you
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer; face it
Because it's all a clue
Stuck up with a theory you mortgaged
But real truth's free
What you need to know has been told before this
While you still speak fantasies
When that hole they’re in is showing
That there’s nothing there worth knowing
That’s the time you should just grow wings
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer; face it
Because it's all a clue
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer (Face it)
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer (Come on, face it, baby)
Why do coelacanths exist?
Find your answer
1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”;
