The Way Is Wide

Some say deny some say deliver some say it’s a mountain some say a river And we eat the bread and we drink the wine dig up the earth or pray five times The way is wide The way is wide to heaven Some say it’s joy some say suffer some say avoid the passion we are given And we warm in the sunlight and we draw down the moon dance in the firelight and die too soon The way is wide The way is wide to heaven If there’s a heaven at all Good people meet there one and all Some say do penance some fight pollution some take their chances on absolution And we drink bitter tears to remember the fallen embrace our fears and follow our calling The way is wide The way is wide to heaven
