Prince
If I was the Prince of Peace,
there’d be no tears of war –
No suffering. No guilt.
For evil, there’d be no yearning.
If I was the Prince of Pain,
such be for sweet love’s learning –
No anger. No shame.
Though gain through this here blessing.
If I was the Prince of Place,
I’d spread my wings from age to age –
No homeless. No desolation be.
Safely would rest humanity.
If I was the Prince of Pledge,
I’ll labour hard to not forget –
No gluttony. No greed.
This world would know of giving.
If I was the Prince of Pride,
please pray this universe me guide –
‘Cause of all God’s Wonders here unfold;
my soul be that of Prince.
