Isn’t it strange how princesses and kings
In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings
While common people like you and me
We’ll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Each must make his life as flowing in
Tumbling block on a stepping stone
While common people like you and me
We’ll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
Look when the rain has fallen from the sky
You know the sun will be only with us for a while
While common people like you and me
We’ll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass and the book of rules
OH MY DAYS MEMORIES. My dad used to play this when I was younger in his sound "Papa Doc," Then growing up, my brothers played this in their sounds-RIVA INTERNATIONAL. And upto this day it's still a tunexxx
Based on a Christian poem, "Builders for Eternity" by R L Sharpe:
Isn't it strange how princes and kings
And clowns that caper in sawdust rings
And common people like you and me
Are builders for all eternity?
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass
A Book of rules
And each must make, ere life has flown
A stumbling block
Or a stepping stone.
Also the greatest bass guitar part ever.
Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
In clown-ragged capers in, sawdust rings
Just while common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass.. and the book of rules
Each must make his life as flowing in
Tumbling block on a stepping stone
Just while common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass.. and the book of rules
(..)
I says, common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass.. and the book of rules
Look when the rain has fallen from the sky
I know the sun will be only missing for a while
I says, common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass.. and the book of rules
(..)
I says, common people like you and me
We'll be builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
A shapeless mass.. and the book of rules
This is my all time favourite tune, I love this, no where on earth do they make music like this, only in JA, listen to it, magic, powerful and blessed.
