[00:33.59]
[00:34.35]Gonna tell them about the dream of the devil
[00:36.97]About the hurting and the healing hand that hand
[00:42.16]
[00:49.80]Cause the music never lasts too long
[00:52.44]For the singers and the endless song

[01:46.01]And told our children what 'worthy' means
[01:48.03]
[01:48.77]And then you wrapped your arms around another
[01:50.99]
[01:51.55]And told them what was worth a pile of beans
[01:53.94]
