tanglefoot - for the day lyrics

Loading...

chorus:
if i listen i can hear
through the joy and through the tears
all the children of this earth
both blessed and cursed

so will i this perfect day
should i spare a thought to pray
ask for only what’s sufficient for the day

a little sun, a little rain
a little money now and then
and the knowledge of enough to eat tomorrow

keep the locusts from our fields
take your portion of the yield
for the folk less blessed by fortune than are we

decent health to work my life
wine and candles with my wife
sufficient store laid in to get us to next harvest

little bounty from above
and a husband i can love
a little wisdom in such portion as i earn

time to stare into the fire
and indulge in small desires
and a moment now and then that i can savor

a little time to eat and drink
time to pause and time to think
just enough to curb despair and keep me whole

if the recruiter comes around
he will find me underground
the empires of ambitious men do not concern me

calm the hearts and angry beat
still the earth beneath my feet
keep me from suspicion and from jealousy

not for me the pride of place
or ent-tlement to grace
why should i be spared my share of dread and sorrow

keep our children from the grave
from the plague may we be saved
make our suffering no more than we can bear

chorus:
if i listen i can hear
through the joy and through the tears
all the children of this earth
both blessed and cursed

so will i this perfect day
should i spare a thought to pray
ask for only what’s sufficient for the day
