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.
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.
Oh my God,so much memories.My Dad who had a tube amps and our next door neighbor who had a sound system use to blast this from Friday night back to Saturday.Just watching everyone enjoy themselves ,smoke them weed and peacefulness...Miss them days
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
