And he walked
after we have defeated all that is evil
what will be our salvations re-prevail
to burn in the firey pits of hell below
or to be swallowed up into heavens glow
just a simple man with a simple task
or a drunken man with a half full cask
he whom to turn the water into wine
and gave his friends a last place to dine
or the non beleivers with lies in there eyes
who share with false friends
whom find greeds company fine
lessons are learned from mistakes that we trade
but the pages in the good book
we can not forsake
for every word between the covers
are the instructions
of how man was made
