Songs of Old |
| Turn the key in the iron lock |
| Of the old oak door |
| Lean into its passages |
| With all my weight and enter |
| Immediately my olfactory senses it’s home |
| Paper thin and paraffin |
| With a glimmering of gold |
| Marble hands are pouring water |
| Silver wings delivering the chains? |
| Streams of colored light make hallow home |
| Mamas singing the songs of old |
| Mama’s singing the songs of old |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Though the gold is marred by red |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Melt it down and make new things |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Empires are made this way |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Endless hopes and endless fears |
| Polish this stone |
| The deeper desire |
| The fine of the grain |
| This time I walk the stairway |
| And turn the key in a cellar door |
| I want to know why |
| All these stories never spoken |
| Danced or drawn or sung or written |
| How we built this temple song by song |
| Mama’s singing the songs of old |
| Mama’s singing the songs of old |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Though the gold is marred by red |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Melt it down and make new things |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Empires are made this way |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Mama’s singing the songs of old |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Though the gold is marred by red |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Melt them down and make new things |
| Singing the rock of ages |
| Empires are made this way |
| Singing the rock of ages |
