[00:00:00] Stained Glass - Danny Schmidt
[00:00:15] It was thirty days til Easter
[00:00:16] When the elm tree hit the church
[00:00:19] Thank God it fell on Friday
[00:00:20] Cause at least no one was hurt
[00:00:23] But there was fear it might delay
[00:00:25] The second coming of the lord
[00:00:27] Cause the stained glass crucifixion
[00:00:29] Was in stains upon the floor
[00:00:46] They spent a day of cleaning
[00:00:47] And a day to board the hole
[00:00:50] Where the stained glass once
[00:00:51] Had cast a godly light upon the fold
[00:00:54] But come the Sunday service
[00:00:56] All the faces now were gray
[00:00:58] And they commenced to
[00:00:59] Take donations as the faithful knelt to pray
[00:01:17] But on Monday they discovered
[00:01:19] That the man who'd built the glass
[00:01:21] Was the only man in town
[00:01:23] Who could and sadly he had passed
[00:01:26] But his father who was ninety
[00:01:27] Said the tools were in the shed
[00:01:29] And he'd kindly try
[00:01:31] And resurrect the window from the dead
[00:01:49] The congregation argued
[00:01:50] But the wise ones all rejoiced
[00:01:53] In the one hand was solution
[00:01:55] In the other was no choice
[00:01:57] And they gave the man their blessings
[00:01:59] And they gave his hand a shake
[00:02:01] And they gave him all the coins they
[00:02:03] Had collected on their plate
[00:02:20] It was seven days til Easter
[00:02:22] And they'd seen a hide nor hair
[00:02:25] So they came and knocked
[00:02:26] At suppertime in hopes the man was there
[00:02:29] But a banging from the basement
[00:02:31] Was 'bout all that they could hear
[00:02:33] And curses that might
[00:02:34] Make the devil blush and wash his ears
[00:02:52] Come first thing easter morning
[00:02:53] And to everyone's good grace
[00:02:56] The man was up on ladders
[00:02:58] With the window nailed in place
[00:03:00] It was covered in black velvet
[00:03:02] Like a hood or like a veil
[00:03:04] He pulled the sheet and there
[00:03:06] It hung apocryphal and frail
[00:03:23] The seams had melted jagged
[00:03:24] They were crooked like a spine
[00:03:27] The glass was rough like hands of man
[00:03:29] Against the hands of time
[00:03:32] And there was bloodstains in the red
[00:03:33] And there were teardrops in the blue
[00:03:36] He said: It may not be the best
[00:03:37] But it's the best that I can do
[00:03:54] The chapel fell to silence
[00:03:56] It was more than just surprise
[00:03:59] As the monstrosity of color slid
[00:04:01] Its tongue across their eyes
[00:04:04] And they shivered from exposure
[00:04:05] Like babies born again
[00:04:08] Cause in every pane of glass
[00:04:10] Was all the joy and pain of man
[00:04:25] There was every fearful smile
[00:04:27] There was every joyful tear
[00:04:30] There was each and every choice
[00:04:32] That leads from every there to here
[00:04:34] There was every cosy stranger
[00:04:37] And every awkward friend
[00:04:39] And there was every perfect night
[00:04:41] That's left initials in the sand
[00:04:44] There was every day that filled so full
[00:04:46] The weeks would float away
[00:04:47] And there was all those days spent wondering
[00:04:49] What to do with all those days
[00:04:52] There was every lie that ever
[00:04:53] Saved the truth from being shamed
[00:04:55] And every secret you could
[00:04:57] Ever trust a friend to hide away
[00:04:59] There was the fortune of
[00:05:00] Discovering a new face you might adore
[00:05:03] And the thrill of coming home
[00:05:04] To find her clothes upon the floor
[00:05:07] And the prideful immortality
[00:05:09] Of children in the home
[00:05:11] That the storm can't grind the mountain down
[00:05:13] It can only shift the stones
[00:05:15] And there was everything your mouth
[00:05:16] Says that your lips don't understand
[00:05:18] And every shape inside your head
[00:05:20] You can't carve with your hands
[00:05:22] And every slice of glass revealed
[00:05:24] Another slice of life
[00:05:26] Emblazened imperfections
[00:05:28] In a perfect stream of light
