Oh, Master, oh, Master, oh, Master.
Like a story, a life a fragile bubble,
Forming, then dissolving,
Battling winds that relentlessly trouble.
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God,
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God.
Guard each step, oh God, oh God,
Guard each step, oh God, oh God.
The thread of breath, so vital, will surely burn, will surely burn,
The clenched fist, that brought us forth, will open, will open.
May this bright form, by God's grace, return to dust, be earthbound,
No matter how it shimmers, how it glows, the sun will set, will fall down.
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God,
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God.
Guard each step, oh God, oh God,
Guard each step, oh God, oh God.
In gold's glitter, in coin's clatter,
It's not found, it's not found, in dust's particles.
If one seeks, it is found there, it is found there,
What chance has any puppet, against your will, to play a part?
The finger points, the puppet's show,
The puppet's dance will surely alter, will change, will fall apart.
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God,
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God.
Guard each step, oh God, oh God,
Guard each step, oh God, oh God.
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God,
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God.
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God,
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God.
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God,
Have mercy, have mercy, grant it, God.
