lyrics

"SAVIOR'S GRACE" by David Guilbault

The time had come to take the fall.
What he had done was heed the call.
For all the souls he came to save,
Put flowers on my savior’s grave.

She worked all day, worked all night,
For us to play in the pale blue night.
A life of toil was her sad fate.
Put flowers on my savior’s grave.

He came to town to change our ways.
They beat him down until he paid.
The power base kept the light at bay.
Put flowers on my savior’s grave.

She walked the beat to keep the law,
Knowing what heat would light the straw.
A spark of fear set fire the hate.
Put flowers on my savior’s grave.

He told the tale with an honest heart,
Known to hail the truth as art,
Painting words writ strong and brave.
Put flowers on my savior’s grave.

She taught the innocents to breathe,
Fought back the abhorrent beliefs.
Only the ignorant behave.
Put flowers on my savior’s grave.

Blessed, the good ones, one and all,
Tested, they would not flee the fault.
For all the souls whose lives were saved,
Put flowers on your savior’s grave.
