1
As long as the world's still turning,
2
As long as the air's still sweet,
3
Lord, won't you give to all of us
4
Whatever it is we need.
5
Give a mind to the wise one,
6
A shield to the enemy,
7
Give some gold to the happy man,
8
And don't forget about me.
9
As long as the world's still turning,
10
Lord, if it be your will,
11
Give to the hungry for power
12
A kingdom to rule his fill.
13
Give some rest to the generous
14
Under a shady tree,
15
Wash the stain from the face of Cain,
16
And don't forget about me.
17
I know that your powers are wondrous,
18
I believe that your ways are wise,
19
The way that a fallen soldier
20
Believes he's in paradise,
21
The way every breathing being
22
Believes in your gentle word,
23
The way, in our utter oblivion,
24
We keep on believing, oh Lord.
25
My all-wise, my all-merciful,
26
My sweet Lord of sea-green eyes,
27
As long as the world's still turning
28
To its eternal surprise,
29
As long as it still has plenty of
30
Fire and destiny,
31
Give a little to everyone,
32
And don't forget about me.
