Sugar Grass - God's Children

Well we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Well we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
I know tempers are rightly rising
At the ledger of wrongs
There's marching in the streets
And there's singing protest songs
I'd like to humbly suggest
That whichever way you're leaning
We stop giving capital letters
To words without meaning
Words like freedom and democracy
National pride
Socialism and Christianity
And duties and rights
If we grasp hold of one of these words
We find it swollen with tears
And the blood of so many
Over so many years
Though what these words truly mean
Nobody can say
We keep piling up ruin
In their name just the same
But if we could take the time to
Properly define our terms
Maybe we could stop killing and
Being killed in turn
Well we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to find a way
To organise our shared life
In the public domain
I believe you are capable
Of learning new things
But you fear the exposure
Uncertainty brings
But if you could truly rest awhile
In those everlasting arms
Maybe you wouldn't have to keep your heart
So goddamn hard
Now so much of history is
Beyond the pale cos
If your only tool's a hammer
You better pray for a nail
And I'd like to live in harmony
Yeah I'd like to get along
But I can't let you take
Her beloved firstborn son
And I don't mind the father metaphor
As long as it don't bother you if I like mother more
And I read the scriptures
I know that truth frees us
And if you're counting heretics
You best not forget Jesus
Well we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to find a way
To organise our shared life
In the public domain
There lives more true faith
Said Tennyson I believe
In honest doubt than in half of the creeds
And I know your religion
Gives you a sense of control
Over an otherwise overwhelming
Perceived threat to your soul
But if you knew your tradition
You wouldn't try to fight it
You'd turn and turn it again
Because everything's inside it
Well we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to get along
Yeah we're all God's children
And we've got to find a way
To organise our shared life
In the public domain
