It Seemed The Better Way
It seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
But now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek
It sounded like the truth
It seemed the better way
Though no one but a fool
Would bless the meek today
I wonder what it was
I wonder what it meant
This rising up with love
This lying down with death
Better hold my tongue
Better know my place
Cup of blood with everyone
Try to say the Grace
