Fire and Ice

©2013 Stephen G Brown

I didn’t write the words on this one, only made a small adaptation.  Oh, Robert Frost wrote the words.  But he didn’t know that they would be put to this song, or he may not have done it.

Fire and Ice
Fire and Ice
Fire and Ice
Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say the world will end in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Fire and Ice
Fire and Ice

Grace

I woke up Saturday morning from a dream. In the dream, either I, or someone else, was singing grace before a meal at a table with some other folks. The second line of this song was the second line of the grace that was sung. It’s all I was able to reassemble from the dream.

Come and join us at this table
Were we all share in God’s finest
Ponder sacrifice divine
As we break bread and drink wine

Think about a time when you didn’t want stand up
Think about a time when you wanted to go
Counted on a friend and he didn’t even show up
Stepped on the gas but it still went slow

Down on your knees, down on your knees, son
Face to the ground, lift up your please
Look to the Father for an answer
Just get down on your knees

Raining on a day when you wanted it sunny
Not enough change to get another pop
Want to get a drink but you haven’t got the money
Neighbor’s playing music and you want him to stop

Down on your knees, down on your knees, son
Face to the ground, lift up your please
Look to the Father for an answer
Just get down on your knees

Our Father which art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Forgive us our debts as we forgive those
Who sin against us Amen

Think about a time when you didn’t want stand up
Think about a time when you wanted to go
Counted on a friend and he didn’t even show up
Stepped on the gas but it still went slow

Down on your knees, down on your knees, son
Face to the ground, lift up your please
Look to the Father for an answer
Just get down on your knees
