LIFE
Soldiers sharpen their swords
Wood shavings from a distant age curl
in a carpentry shop
Chisels and adzes cut squarish grooves
And cords hold this budget cross together
They don't have to be too flash they
don't have to last long
There are 3 to make for the morrow
2 for robbers 1 for a King
They are all the same
All weigh the same to carry up the
hill on Calvary
All will die tomorrow
1 will be reborn
1 we will remember today.
Bells will toll and songs will be sung
The collection plate will jingle
And the choir will sing
A princess will breast feed her baby
on a hill side, as she walks
War planes will fly, bombs will drop
Refugees will flee across borders and
live
Life will go on.
