(Danoff)

The world is fast becoming younger, the news is all they've ever known.
|
They've seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger, how will they choose when they are grown.
|
What do you tell forever's children when it's their turn to hurt and heal?
|
Whatever spins a grim tornado can also turn a potter's wheel.
|
|
Take a little clay, put it on a wheel, get a little hint how God must feel.
|
Give a little turn, listen to it spin, make it into the shape you want it in.
|
|
Tell with your life the bloody story, teach to they're dreams not burning steel.
|
It's not in bombs where lies the glory but in what's shattered on the field.
|
The potter's wheel takes love and caring, skill and patience fast and slow.
|
The works it makes are easily broken once they survive the potter's throw
|
|
Take a little clay, put it on a wheel, get a little hint how God must feel.
|
Give a little turn, listen to it spin, make it into the shape you want it in.
|
|
Some day some children will be digging in some long forgotten ground
|
and they'll find our civilization or what's left of it to be found.
|
They'll find the weapons of destruction, but buried deeper in the hole,
|
they'll find a message and a promise in the sand, the potter's bowl.
|
|
Take a little clay, put it on a wheel, get a little hint how God must feel.
|
Give a little turn, listen to it spin, make it into the shape you want it in.
|
Earth and water and wind conspire with human hands, and love, and fire.
