Can you catch us all
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
The aftermath is absolution
A brazing end to a chaotic end
The helpless is hopeless as the
Desperation sets in
We begin to fix what
Is broken
As we spare the lives of the fallen
The battlefield is set
The only thing to change
Is the time
And the hour is upon us
To raise up the great morning star
Let your light shine upon us
And strengthen us in the darkness.
We shall not fall.
Within the quicken
When we are stricken
Oh, great morning star.
Can you catch us all?
