The Main Event - Tune Robbers

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
