The angel Moroni asleep in the carport

With the newspaper under his arm

In hiding his face from the Lord

Dear Jesus, forgive me

I'm only doing as I was told

For as it is written

I will soon one day face my own fire

This world will go with me

If I can just get them all on my side

Carry me over rainbows and Rainier
F G C
Carry me over rainbows and Rainier

Prophetic poems spoken
