Here is the one here is the one here is the one mistake that can not be made   There is a line that is crossed over once and only once let it be said   All of the hubris clenched in our fist won't punch our way out of here   You know what I've told and I tell but you won't let it pass into your ears      Even the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails   Come to know pain before the rusted barrier falls      Before the radio long before radio waves struck down to touch   Off the wild flame that took all in it's path and trampled the young underbrush   Music shooed clouds away billowing anxieties are rolled over and out   Seems like a lot of folks gave up and got out except for the truly devout      Who like the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails   Came to be dizzy before the barrier fell      Love is the one love is the one weapon that hasn't been brandished yet in this song   Strikes fear in the pockets of bankers and generals without it we can't carry on   And all of us knew this at one time from teething to toothless it's safe to say   But useless perhaps to point out that we've lost our instincts and awe in this day      And like the oxen ramming their heads on tin walls   Might come to know mercy before the barrier falls   And I come to know mercy before the barrier falls   And I come to know mercy before the barrier falls      Falls falls   And it falls falls falls   And it falls falls falls
