Pretty Pictures, Ribbons and You

Pretty Pictures, Ribbons & You We each must take a step of faith in the right direction A soldier fighting in the field of grass lives another day Something to be grasped amidst the madness of outside Words that are expressed in the night have come to light A full pledge as we take part in the dance Pretty pictures fancy ribbons & you Perhaps we as a nation have bitten off more then we could chew A dance in the light of a delightful day We humbly bow the knee to pray Many people sow discord in the hearts of others There is no true love anymore for our brother In light of eternity this day is far spent A light that evokes a twilight appeal to family & friends Happy as a lark in the meadow looking for food Radiant nights with moon fall all a glow The pitter patter of soft sandaled feet Pretty pictures, ribbons & you Nothing borrowed or blue Bask in the vast array of love from above A look deep inside for we have nothing to ever hide
