Nathan - Vic Chesnutt[00:00:00]

The great grandfather[00:00:15]

With his pious beard[00:00:18]

Bathed in the river[00:00:20]

All his years[00:00:23]

Many books that lined his walls[00:00:25]

Jews and gentiles[00:00:30]

Held him in awe[00:00:33]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:00:36]

And looked to the river[00:00:40]

Where his mother once floated[00:00:43]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:00:46]

And looked to the river[00:00:51]

Where his mother once floated[00:00:53]

He had four sons[00:01:21]

All healthy and proper[00:01:23]

One was converted[00:01:25]

Became a christian doctor[00:01:28]

His daughter filled with typhus and succumbed[00:01:30]

He grew quiet his wife fell dumb[00:01:36]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:01:41]

And looked to the river[00:01:45]

Where his mother once floated[00:01:47]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:01:50]

And looked to the river[00:01:55]

Where his mother once floated[00:01:57]

His granddaughter recalled[00:02:24]

The day he died[00:02:27]

She was six years old[00:02:29]

Frosted with fright[00:02:32]

She clutched the toe[00:02:34]

The stiff cold toe[00:02:37]

And renounced the wrongs only she could know[00:02:39]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:02:44]

And looked to the river[00:02:49]

Where his mother once floated[00:02:51]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:02:54]

And looked to the river[00:02:59]

Where his mother once floated[00:03:01]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:03:04]

And looked to the river[00:03:08]

Where his mother once floated[00:03:10]

Nathan stepped through the broken window[00:03:13]

And looked to the river[00:03:18]

Where his mother once floated[00:03:20]
