The Second Coming

Keith Michael Roberts, copyright 1974 - .

There is a star that so brightly shines,
from far away in space and time,
and a babe born upon the world today.
Oh, come and see.
The child, they say,
will set us free this time.

And the story, older than the years,
lives inbetween the laughter and the tears.
Give everything away to have it all.
Oh come and see,
how one so small
could be so free.

Sing a song for tomorrow.
Make a prayer of the pain.
Turn a smile in your sorrow.
Come and dance in the rain,
once again.

Only silence now within this dusty jail,
and no one imprisoned here but me.
As the death-master pounds the final nail,
Oh come and see
how one so frail
could be so free.

Sing a song for tomorrow.
Make a prayer of the pain.
Turn a smile in your sorrow.
Come and dance in the rain,
once again.
