To All The Poets |
To all the poets I have known |
Who saw the beauty in the common place |
Saw incarnation in a Baby’s face |
And in a drop of rain the stars |
When there was mud and blood and tears |
You sang a song at night to calm our fears |
You made a moment last a thousand years |
You are the poets I have known |
To all the poets I have known |
You built a kingdom out of sea and sand |
You conquered armies with a marching band |
You carved a galaxy in stone |
You built an altar out of bread |
And spent your soul to see the children fed |
You wove your heart in every story read |
Thank God for poets I have known |
And you keep in dreamin' |
When the dreams all fade |
When friends desert you |
You’re the ones who stays |
To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed |
You are the poets I have known |
You turned your tears into a string of pearls |
You held your sorrow high to light the world |
When I thought I was alone |
In every man you saw the boy |
The hidden heart the dark could not destroy |
Slipped past the dragons with a tale of joy |
Thank God for poets I have known |
'Cause you keep on dreamin' |
When the dreams all fade |
When friends desert me |
You’re the ones who stayed |
To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed |
You walking wounded of my life |
Who bled compassion in the heat of strife |
You stood between my heart and satan’s knife |
With just the armour of a song |
You are the heroes and the brave |
Who with a slender pen our passions save |
And chisel epitaphs upon the graves |
Of all the poets I have known |
So keep on dreamin' |
Keep on dreamin' |
So keep on dreamin' |
Keep on dreamin' |
Keep on dreamin' |
