Tears of the Battle Cry…
Song Lyrics
[Verse-1]
Oh Charlie, why did God allow Assassin’s bullet to just somehow, End your life of words ’bout right, And pass baton, as gift to wife! As children grow, they’ll come to know Of father who kept God in tow, In words and deeds and planted seeds, You spoke of truth without impedes.
[Verse-2]
Yet in solaced contemplations, You’d stirred the mind of nation, To invite God’s salutations, ‘Bout Christ and our salvation! As warrior of God’s appeal, You approached each college battlefield, To offer firm resistance To the dark one’s zeal’s insistence.
[Verse-3]
As you knew defining gender formed attacks from just pretenders, You’d focused on instruction of corruption and our destruction! From intellect your God’s respect Bestowed his gift of life’s begets; You knew the strength of nods and winks From mind that challenged our youth to think.
[Verse-4]
You broke the spell of hell, With words of wise from mind’s disguised, And from the sum of big surprise, You’d opened up their eyes to wise!
[Verse-5]
You’d mirrored the challenge that Jesus posed, In flipping table in temple’s square, While exposing blacken kettle ware, From duplicity of truth’s despair.
[Verse-6]
In calling out hypocrisy, Your truth exposed infect’s disease; In casting lifeline’s braided rope, You tied the noose and choked the GOATS, That poked and prodded young minds distraughted. What mind’s unkind in humankind Could apply their wakeful wits To zero in on crosshairs For homicidal blitz? Woe to those who all should know ‘Bout darkness hid in shadows, Which turns one’s mind in overtime, To refining crimes ‘against God’s design, and slay an Angel’s halo!
[Verse-7]
Oh Charlie, son, as gifted one, Your truth from time allotted, Ignored the risk by those who plotted To sow the seeds in minds distraughted! If the truth be known, You’d always knew to where you were going, As hurried pace ’twas in a race To help mankind to save disgrace. I thank you for a life devoted To all the scripted words you’d noted; You’d walked the walk, where some just talked, And others chose to squeak and balk!
[Verse-8]
Could it be that God set you free From earthly bounds for things to be? As work was done from such of one, And now it’s time to pass baton— To wife as mom to carry on…
[Verse-9]
We have no right to ask of God, As words in JOB give cause for pause, Yet these cannot cease causing sobs, As world was robbed at such a cost! I ask my Lord and Savior, From where do thoughts of hate’s berates originate, And how the world might just escape From poisoned mind’s unbridled bait! If truth be known, ’bout where they’re going, They’d exchange insane,
Obtain Refrain, Put use of brains, Make use of pains To board the train, To life of ever after!
