So Why Do I keep Running Away?
Brian Leonard Williams 1970 (Kathmandu)
The One
Who made the eagle
Can teach me to fly!
The Boss
Who made the lion
Can teach me to rule!
The Power
Who made the ox
Can teach me to work!
The Designer
Who made the fish
Can teach me to swim?
The Creator
Who created the human
Can He not teach me to love?
