Testo Potter's Wheel John Denver
take a little clay put it on the wheel give a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn listen to it spin make it in the shape you want it in.
Tell with you life the bloody story teach to they're dreams not burning steel
it's not in bombs where lies the glory but in what's shattered on the field
The potter's wheel takes love and caring skill and patience fast and slow,
the works it makes are easily broken once they've survived the potter's throw
take a little clay put it on the wheel give a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn listen to it spin make it in the shape you want it in.
Some day some children will be digging in some long forgotten ground and
they'll find our civilization or what's left of it to be found
they'll find the weapons of destruction but buried deeper in the hole
they'll find a message and a promise in the sand, the potter's bowl
take a little clay put it on the wheel give a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn listen to it spin make it in the shape you want it in.
take a little clay put it on the wheel give a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn listen to it spin make it in the shape you want it in.
Earth and fire and wind conspire with human hand, and love, and fire.
take a little clay put it on the wheel give a little hint how god must feel,
give a little turn listen to it spin make it in the shape you want it in.
