A                                                       D           A
Well, the Bible tells us about a man Who ruled Babylon and all its land
                                                             E           A
Around the city he built the wall And declared that Babylon would never fall
                            A          D               A
He had concubines and wives He called his Babylon "Paradise"
                                 A                     E           A
On his throne, he drank and ate But for Belshazzar it was getting late
CHORUS:
A
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                      E
His kingdom was divided, he couldn't stand
         A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
            E                   A
His houses were built upon the sand

A                                                                    D            A
Well, the people feasted and drank their wine And praised the false gods of his time
                                                                 E         A
All holy things they scorned and mocked But suddenly all their mocking stopped
                                                           D      A
For on the wall there appeared a hand Nothing else, there was no man
                                                          E         A
In blood the hand began to write And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
CHORUS:
A
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                    E
His kingdom was divided,he couldn't stand
         A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
            E                   A
His houses were built upon the sand

A                                                              D      A
Well, no one around could understand What was written by the mystic hand
                                                         E            A
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find A man who could give him piece of mind
                                                                 D        A
But Daniel, the prophet, a man of God He saw the writing on the wall in blood
                                                            E        A
Belshazzar asked him what it said And Daniel turned to the wall and read
CHORUS:
A
My friend you’re weighed in the balance and found wanting
                                    E
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
         A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
            E                   A
You’re houses were built upon the sand
