I saw myself 
a ring of bone
in the clear stream
of all of it

and vowed
always to be opened to it
that all of it
might flow through

and then heard
"ring of bone" where
ring is what
a bell does

And it's all because of this
this I insist
It's all because of this
the sin we bare
the sin I ware
It's all because of this
It's everywhere we may not arrive at the mountain together
But if we try we can share the spring water

And I insist it's all because of this 
This
This
This is Christ, He's our witness

the sin we all share
It's in the air
It's all because of this
And it's all because of this

I know I was only kidding myself

I am not that stupid and knew this day
was coming thick and fast

When my Lkkel Red Chubs Mcmonkey
would eventually say 

Uncky Chris I am engaged to be married

And the only thing I can say with broken
but joyous heart

Is congratulations Lew 

I only hope and pray you love Bianca
half as much as I do

Then you have my full blessing because
she isn't just special 

She is simply irreplaceable in every 
conceivable way imaginable...
