Upon a winding forest road
I met a soldier far from home
I saw he was my enemy
So I aimed at him and he at me
Prepared was I, but load to shoot
And he uncertain what to do
A cold sweat firmed upon my brow
But we both kept rank and stood our ground
And then the curious thing occured
On wings arrived the tiny bird
And troubled not by war or peace
She sang for us a melody
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I did not move or look away
Last my life, my forward take
Yet in his eyes I saw his fry
Just a boy like me afraid to die
The meadow lark sang on and on
Then more arrived, enjoyed the song
And as I held my rival stare
A tremendous chorus filled the air
Then in my heart, as clear as day
I heard a gentle whisper say
My son, if my disciple be
Show grace and love your enemy
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
With swell of birds sung all around
Lowered I my rifle down
And as my foe took aim at me
I showed him he'll abandon me
He faltured then and shook with fear
And from his eye he wiped a tear
His gaze was as a brothers bond
And then he turned and he was gone
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
If I should live to see more days
I pray the world to guide my ways
With grace to love my enemy
For grace, my savior showed to me
With grace to love my enemy
For grace, my savior showed to me
