Oh Do you know there’s a place you can go
A place that is weathered and worn
But you can’t stay there long
like the plow and the stone
but you can wait if you like to be born
Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by man’s greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt
The old oak tree watches us like we were bees
Flitting and frittering in the golden
Everybody knows, we all died yesterday
And the day after that we were born
Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by man’s greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
But Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt
