The world is fast becoming younger

The news is all theyve ever known

Theyve seen the wars, the hurt, the hunger

How will they choose when they are grown



What do you tell forevers children

When its their turn to hurt and heal

Whatever spins a grim tornedo

Can also turn a potters wheel



Take a little clay

Put it on a wheel

Get a little hint

How God must feel



Give a little turn

Listen to a spin

Make it into the shape

You want it in



Tell with your life the bloody story

Teach to theyre dreams not burning steel

Its not in bombs where lies the glory

But in whats shattered on the field



The potters wheel takes love and caring

Skill and patience fast and slow

The works it makes are easily broken

Once they survive the potters throw



Take a little clay

Put it on a wheel

Get a little hint

How God must feel



Give a little turn

Listen to a spin

Make it into the shape

You want it in



Some day some children will be digging

In some long forgotten ground

And theyll find our civilisation

Or whats left of it to be found



Theyll find the weapons of destruction

But buried deeper in the hole

Theyll find a message and a promise

In the sand, the potters bowl



Take a little clay

Put it on a wheel

Get a little hint

How God must feel



Give a little turn

Listen to a spin

Make it into the shape

You want it in



Earth and fire and wind conspire

With human hands, and love, and fire
