lyrics

A Wooden Idol
(Arthur Desmond, 1890)

Life is strife for every man
For every son of Thunder
Then be a lion, not a lamb,
And don’t be trampled under

A painted idol on a tree,
Dripping tears and gore
A painted idol is to me,
And it is nothing more

Carve a wooden image fine,
And cover it with paint
Straightaway it’s a sacred thing
A goddess, savior, saint.

Live and love and take and give
And laugh and fight and sigh
For, it’s all there’ of life to live
And all of death to die
