作词 : Danoff, Denver | |
Lyrics:Bill Danoff Music:Bill 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 | |
Chorus: | |
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 | |
(Chorus) | |
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 | |
(Chorus) | |
Earth and water and wind conspire | |
With human hands, and love, and fire |
