Lyrics Potter’s Wheel

The world is fast becoming younger,
the news is all they've ever known
they've seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger
How will they choose when they are grown.
What do you tell forevers children
when its their turn to hurt and heal
whatever spins the grim tornado
can also turn a potters wheel

take a little clay
put it on the wheel
get a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn
listen to it spin
make it in the shape you want it in.

Tell with you life the bloody story
teach to they're dreams not burning steel
it's not in bombs where lies the glory
but in what's shattered on the field
The potter's wheel takes love and caring
skill and patience fast and slow,
The works it makes are easily broken
once they've survived the potter's throw

take a little clay
put it on the wheel
get a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn
listen to it spin
make it in the shape you want it in.

Some day some children will be digging
in some long forgotten ground
and they'll find our civilization
or what's left of it to be found
they'll find the weapons of destruction
but buried deeper in the hole
They'll find a message and a promise
in the sand, the potter's bowl

take a little clay
put it on the wheel
get a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn
listen to it spin
make it in the shape you want it in.
take a little clay
put it on the wheel
get a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn
listen to it spin
make it in the shape you want it in.
Earth and fire and wind conspire
with human hands, and love, and fire.
take a little clay
put it on the wheel
get a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn
listen to it spin
make it in the shape you want it in.
