Common Sense asked Balaam, “Why do you hit me with that stick?
Balaam answered, “I’m so angry if I had a sword I’d kill you quick
When I say get up you lay down
When I say go forward you mess around.”
“Well,” said Common Sense Continuing his repertoire,
“Maybe there are some things you can not see anymore."
Think about it, hasn't Common Sense always made sense before?”
“It’s true’ said Balaam,“You have taken care of me for years
I've never had to beat you or twist and chew your ear.”
"Is it possible,” asked Common Sense,
“We no longer see eye to eye,
You cannot not see the obvious,
If I acquiesce you will die?
"Have you forgotten Common Sense,that I am a prophet of the Lord
And you are a stupid animal unable to say a word?”
"I can see you are not impressed with my sudden burst of eloquence
Anger does not rationalize nor listen to Common Sense
Surely you could confess you did not take into consideration
You're talking to a donkey it's a bit of a perplexing situation
Balaam’s eyes were opened and he saw the angel of the Lord
Ready to loose the fateful lightening Of his terrible swift sword
As far as I know Common Sense never spoke again
If you listen intently A message God will send
The voice says it is madness to run greedily to reward
Blinded by things you want, when you already have the Lord
