Reconciliation
Let us, you and I
Begin counting days
Like cents
Before the ice gets too thin
Losing monuments
Of what we were about
Here take my hand
I am a child
Children teach from dreams
God and man reconciled
Let us try to understand
The beginnings of wisdom
True values
Never perish as we grow old
Gaining momentum
Of what we are to become
Here take my hand
I am a child
Children learn from dreams
God and man reconciled
I have numbered my children
Numbered my friends
Numbered my debts unpaid
Numbered the stairs men built to heaven
But only you can teach me
To count my days melting away like ice
That I may drink of wisdom from the sun
When God and man is reconciled
