He Tells of a Time

He tells of a time
when the Celts were wild
and the Scots were free
until the flames of shame forged their destiny
And the pipes lament
up and down Glencoe
He knows of a time
when Pawnee and Cree
lived in harmony
until forked tongues and guns scarred their destiny
And tom-toms echo
around Grand Canyon
He heard of a time
when African men
helped readily
until slave ships and chains stained their destiny
And marimbas
beat low in Angola
He remembers a time
when the rabbis prayed
for their Germany
until genocide gassed out their destiny
And a harp mourns
in the Holy Temple
Let the instruments play
If we listen they’ll say
that the hate in our heart
is much greater in part
than the love in our soul
when it fades from control
And the notes float
about the universe
He tells of a time

If we listen they’ll say
that the hate in our heart
is much greater in part
than the love in our soul
when it fades from control
And the notes float
about the universe
