Make my life a hollow reed
That will bend now in stormy breeze
For in numbers I find my strength
Beneath the willow tree
Make my life like the rock
Piled high upon , top to top
A stonewall that runs for miles
Around my lands it stands
Make my life short and sweet
Give me peace not dire defeat
Give me love and woman's sigh
Amidst the clovered fields
Make my life a Godly song
One that knows right from wrong
With wisdon as old as stars
I'll dance inside the fire
Make my life to unfold
I am tired , my shoes have holes
My dreams are seeds cast to the wind
And just the husk remains
Make my life now come to end
It's my time to propend
I'll walk among the ghost's remains
And willingly I quote
Hollow reeds will bend not break
Holow reeds will not forsake
Of hollow reeds my death bed make
And lie amongst the stars
