Shall we ever know the answer
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Sweet Jesus
Dancing upon the rooftops
Watching fortunes
come and go
Like rain
which Seems to never stop
When the angels come
Will they come comfort me
As i plant these seeds
for a brighter day
i know may never
come for me
Knowing
Somehow They will be there
for One
Who might care enough to share
But will they dare
to judge My heart
If so Well then
will i be So blessed
To live on love
To learn to rise above
And sign the deed of trust
And will those who will
Surely come behind him
In his name
Do right by Us
all
Will they watch over him
as he sleeps?
Or rob him
of his wares?
And to what end
Will the world
succumb to those?
Who hate who
they have come to be
Become the kingdom
of the Evil Led
Willing to trade
their Souls
For the shoes
on his feet
And the shirt off
His back
