Arc of Life
(Chorus):
A life is like an arrow, shot out from a bow
It flies a course no human heart can know
We cannot see the target, we do not know the plan
But the arc of life will lead us where it can….
Oh the arc of life will lead us where it can.
It’s strange how life can happen, when living seems so hard
The closest things are often most unknown,
But silence makes us listen, and sometimes brings us ‘round,
And clears a path to where the sign is shown.
I cannot help a brother, I cannot help a friend
With vision clouded by the tears of pain.
We see the path before us, we listen for the call
And the arrow pierces darkness once again.
(chorus)
The job of life is living, as much as life can bear.
We do it one by one, but not alone.
The work we do together is work that makes us whole,
And the wages buy a future, yet unknown.
(chorus)

The Oars Rise Up
05:53
|
|||
The oars rise up, and the oars dip down
And I hear a chuckling sound
As I row this golden river skiff
Up to Rockport town
Up in Rockport you will find
The Andress and Son Boatworks
Old Ed Andress built these boats
Like they done for two hundred years
There’s nothing quite like a good wooden boat
To carry you down the stream
The smell of the cedar, the feel of the oars
And the care that shaped every beam
This boat can brave a raging storm
Or ride on a cresting wave
Or glide through the rushes with one gentle stroke
In the calm of a still summer’s evening
If you’re feeling sad, and your spirits dip down
Remember they soon will rise up
Like oars on a boat, life has ups and downs
But that’s what carries us forward
