The music video for this song is currently in production and will be released on our YouTube channel in the coming weeks.
This song may sound like satire, but it hides a serious question beneath its playful surface.
In todayâs world, it often feels like honesty and kindness are punished, while lies, deceit, and cruelty are rewarded. We see people who cheat, manipulate, or step on others rise to success, wealth, and recognition. So the question becomes painfully relevant:
Do you have to be bad to succeed?
Behind the irony, the song invites us to reflect on our own values and the kind of world weâre helping to create, a world where doing the right thing might make you look foolish, yet remains the only path to true peace.
Do you need to lie and cheat,
Step on others to compete?
Golden towers, empty pride,
Truth and love get pushed aside.
Donât play the trump, trump, trumpet,
Lies wonât make you rise.
Follow Jesus, lift the weak,
Thatâs the way to paradise!
Trump, trump, trumpet,
Lies wonât make you rise.
Follow Jesus, lift the weak,
Thatâs the way to paradise!
Shouting louder, pushing fear,
Promises that disappear.
Grabbing more with selfish hands,
Never caring where it lands.
Donât play the trump, trump, trumpet,
Lies wonât make you rise.
Follow Jesus, lift the weak,
Thatâs the way to paradise!
Trump, trump, trumpet,
Lies wonât make you rise.
Follow Jesus, lift the weak,
Thatâs the way to paradise!
Jesus multiplies tacos with grace,
Feeds the crowd in every place.
No walls, no hate, no golden cage,
Love and mercy set the stage.
Donât play the… Play the trump, trump, trumpet,
Lies wonât make you rise.
Follow Jesus, lift the weak,
Thatâs the way to paradise!
Donât play the trumpet,
Lies wonât make you rise.
Follow Jesus, lift the weak,
Thatâs the way to paradise!
Donât play the trump, trump, trumpet!
Donât play the trump, trump, trumpet!
Jesus shows another way,
Love will always win the day.
