The Shield

But time will change its course
Don't take the chance of life's hectic dance
Which may take me from you

On the carpet above ground?
The slow inviting cloud
To the hill up above
And to his wish he will yield
Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream
Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
Where sky is forever blue

Kiss the strength of the shield
By the looker underground

And let light pass like a wheel
While our children play in the field
And trust in the strength of the shield

But how strong is the shield?

So take this hand of mine and climb baby climb
So trust in your love and you'll see up above
So let it pass baby now
Fate will have its word of course
But never his heart or his love
Can peace be found
The seeker will be found
I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
Many things a man can lose, his self, his rights, his views
