Job's Lament

Oh your ways are so set in
And your life is neatly planned
So with the warning wind
I will admonish while I can

There's a mysterious mist
And it frightens to the core
The lack of knowing the future
That no one can ignore

And there's a calculated bliss
While you're lying on the shore
And the mysterious mist
Won't enthrall you anymore

But then the thunder clap will slap you
And the mountains will explode
The floods extend to trap you
And demolish your abode

And the whether will persist
And it will be driving down your door
And the calculated bliss
Won't involve you anymore

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
