[00:14.31]May your eyes be wide and seeing
[00:17.49]May you learn from the view where you're kneeling
[00:20.66]Know the fear of the world that you're feeling
[00:23.74]Is the fear of a slave
[00:26.78]May you know how the fight was started
[00:29.68]Want as much from the snake as the garden
[00:32.87]Wear them both like a glove that you can't wave
[00:39.12]May your mouth betray your wisdom
[00:42.04]May you get what they failed to mention
[00:45.25]May your love be your only religion
[00:48.33]Preach it to us all
[00:51.44]May you lose what you offer gladly
[00:54.36]May you worship the time and it's passing
[00:57.53]Stars wont ever wait for you to watch them fall
[01:03.92]We're the smoke on a burnt horizon
[01:06.64]We're the boat on a tide that's rising
[01:09.99]Both the post and the pig you're untying
[01:13.30]The butcher gone for the blade
[01:16.12]Someday we may all be happy
[01:19.00]Someday all make a face worth slapping
[01:22.26]Someday we may be shocked to be laughing
[01:25.72]At the way we behave
[01:28.51]May your hands be strong and willing
[01:31.58]May you know when to speak and to listen
[01:34.64]May you find every friend that you're missing
[01:37.66]There's no check in the mail
[01:40.75]May you end there bruised and purple
[01:43.73]Know that peace is the shape of a circle
[01:47.09]Around and around you go, biting your tail
[02:04.50]
[02:18.14]Little children, the wind is whipping
[02:20.87]Short hands on a clock still ticking
[02:23.94]Both the egg and the red fox grinning
[02:27.20]His belly full for the day
[02:30.07]Someday we may all want nothing
[02:33.14]And all forget that we'll get what's coming
[02:36.20]Someday I'll say the world was something
[02:39.34]That we just couldn't change
[02:42.54]May your tongue be something wicked
[02:45.41]Know your part in the calf and the killing
[02:48.48]See straight through the captain you're kissing
[02:51.80]Helm loose in his hand
[02:54.72]May your words be well worth stealing
[02:57.79]Put your hand on your heart when singing
[03:01.20]The choir's sick of the song but they've still got to stand
[03:20.31]
