the many disguises of god - robbie fulks lyrics

[verse 1]
bright blazed the sun on the day you were born
red ran the flowering vine
i felt it then like the pr-ck of a th-rn
someone so tender and kind
watching

[verse 2]
i left your mother a-sleeping and still
to walk for a while ‘neath the sky
i climbed the side of a crooked old hill
reaching the crest, i did spy
soldiers

[verse 3]
as you press on to the future’s fair land
child, spare a glance back where you came
for over your cradle a lone figure stands
history tells us his name
adam

[verse 4]
had you the wings of the angel you seem
o’er these hospital walls you would fly
and my so-called crimes would go small like a dream
and there to your wondering eye

[chorus]
a mountain face, lashed jagged by the sea
the plow’s steady churn, the impress of hooves in the clay
a rusted gray shed, jammed with gunpowder and gold
a vine-clotted field where families once gathered to die
seaports, depots
where the goods of all lands freely flow
a signpost to a town no longer there
an arrow a-sail that no man shot nor can slow
forms mighty and small, scrabbling ’round looking for food
the on-rushing plains, the soft lights just beyond
ten thousand the same, one child who is not
the chair by the wall, a-rocking the dreadful day through
the hand of love withdrawn: the many disguises of god
the many disguises of god
the many disguises of god
