The Gospel Truth

Vocals: Muses (Lillias White, Cheryl Freeman, LaChanze, Roz Ryan, and Vaneese Thomas)

Back when the world was new
The planet Earth was down on its luck
And ev`rywhere gigantic brutes
called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place
There was a mess
wherever you stepped
When chaos reigned and
earthquakes and
volcanoes never slept

And then along
came Zeus
He hurled his
thunderbolt
he zapped

Locked those suckers
in a vault
They're trapped
And on his own stopped
chaos in its tracks
gospel truth
The guy was too type A
to just relax
And that's the worlds first
dish
Zeus tamed the globe
while still in his youth
Though, honey, it may
seem imposs`ble
That's the gospel truth
On Mt. Olimpus life was
neat and
Smooth as sweet
vermouth
Though, honey, it may
seem imposs`ble
That's the gospel truth.
He ran the Underworld
But thought the dead
were dull and uncouth
He was as mean as he
was ruthless
And that's the gospel
truth
He had a plan to shake
things up
And that's the gospel
truth

Young Herc was
Mortal now
But since he did not
Drink the last drop
He still retained his
Godlike strength
So thanks his lucky star

But Zeus and Hera wept
Because their son could
Never come home
They'd have to watch
Their precious baby
Grow up from afar

Though Hades
Horrid plan
Was hatched before Herc
Cut his first tooth
The boy grew stronger
ev`ry day and
That's the gospel truth
