Lyrics by Vadim Kalatsey
Music by Al'shad Babahanov

Listen now, they told me I was a fool.
First I didn't understand what I did wrong.
I used to be a normal guy like all
I had a girlfriend and we cuddled in the corners.
I stole cigarettes from home, but did my morning exercises.
At school they've been telling us for many years that there was no God
And we were born from monkeys.
Love the party and don't love your enemies,
And someone named Lenin is more alive than all the living.
But Lenin is gone somewhere, and I can't see the party,
And so much time passed by, what a pain!
If we knew earlier that God is real like you and me,
We would've prospered and done away with poverty.
But I hear from the back again, "You're crazy."
My heart sank, I saw my life all at one moment.
And then I told them, "God - it is cool, isn't that understood?
Listen you, never will I come back, don't call me.
I became like Christ. Look, I am different.
I understood I couldn't live without God.
What way can I find in my life without him?
There where is no faith there is ruin and poverty.
There where is the faith in God there is peace and abundancy.
Husbands are faithful to their wives,
Parents don't beat their children.
Nobody is never being lowered, friends don't betray friends.
This is all for free, you don't have to know much,
But you have to believe that Jesus died personally for you,
And he redeemed all of your sins.
He dowesn't care what you wear,
What is the color of your skin,
What you' ve done for your motherland
And what kind of girlfriends you have.
No one is priviliged, all are equal in God's eyes:
A professor, a worker, a president,
The old and the young, the healthy and the sick, the rich and the poor,
A businessman, a priest, and a student.
Don't miss the moment you too.
The truth has revealed, life has changed.
There is no need in superfluous words - God is near me.
God - it is cool, isn't that understood?
Hey come with me!"
Yesterday I had a dream, I saw a bridge across the river,
And I went along that bridge following a man.
He told me, "See how similar we are,
Now you are the same inside as I am.
