The fat lady is singing

( )

• •

) (

 

It's a war out there I'm sure you know

 

••

 

In lovers' beds

 

The tenderest embraces of child - like dreaminess

 

Our mutual sense of human salvation

 

Our familiarity

 

With all the reasons we are together

 

••

 

These start to fade

 

As we are called into sacredness

 

And understanding

 

••

 

The unborn child whose world is seed

 

The little kid who has watched

 

His own brother die

 

On the street

 

WHAT ARE WE DOING ?

 

( yes !

 

What are we ? )

 

••

 

Gentleness

 

///

 

What are we to do ?

 

( gentle song )

 

AS WE TRANSFORM UNTO SAINTLINESS

 

we pick our love up

 

From the bed

 

We gird our *****

 

And ........

 

?

 

Become real

 

We gird our *****

 

 

As we must dear friends
