The Main Event / Fight

Lyrics

Ceasar built an empire
 Ruled from shore to shore
 Now he's mostly remembered
 For when a baby was born
 He wanted everyone counted
 So everybody went
 He was the main attraction,
 But even he missed the main event
 Later on at the temple
 Time for the offering came
 The coffers rang with the money
 The wealthy people gave
 Jesus said, "See that woman?"
 "She gave her last two cents."
 Y'all were the main attraction
 But she was the main event
 So it makes me wonder
 What goes missing in our lives
 What matters most so often goes unrecognized
 Crowds at the crucifixition
 All the disciples fled
 Three days found in hiding
 Underneath their beds
 The women went to the graveyard
 Came back and told the men,
 "You saw the main attraction,"
 "But you all missed the main event."
 So it makes me wonder
 What goes missing in our lives
 What matters most so often goes unrecognized
 When Jesus said, "Seek the kingdom"
 Maybe what he meant
 Is this world's main attractions,
 Are hardly ever, almost never
 The main event
