Hector Stands

Hector stands and watches the river roll by

He says he'd soon die as to change his plans

It will go down soon, that's what they say

But it doesn't feel that way from where Hector stands

So Hector prays, to see his home his desire

And end this trial by fire that is living these days

"Lord, my body is weak but my spirit is stronger"

"Give me just a little longer" is what Hector prays

Then Hector laughs and it fills us with wonder

His voice sounds like thunder when he says "this river is my path"

He stepped into the river and strode out over the water

To midstream and still further and I can still hear him laugh

The universe smiles on true grace and intention

That's no new invention, it's the law, it's the plan

Hector is laughing and smiling and waving

From the far other shore where Hector stands
