Lyrics
Folk Song Primer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, give us this day
Fill it up with wheat bread and love songs
Oh, I found it today
In a beaten up folk song primer
It was written
2,000 Years ahead of my time
And nothing else could have been written
Everyone sang it out
And beat their hands on the ground
It was ugly
But it forced him to listen
Oh honestly say
All of our debts are forgiven
Oh, dream it today and
Maybe we will wake up in heaven
It was written
