Warm and Sweet As Bread

Ancient eyes, reflects this mirror of your soul

Egyptian tears, flow like the Nile River

Heart be warm and sweet as bread

Sacred body, a temple harboring this light

Orange-cooper moon, we share the night

Cold hands, we plow this sacred earth

Allow these men to be angels first

Heart be warm and sweet as bread

Listen to what we said –

Heart be warm and sweet as bread
