History A brief look at humanity Take this rib and take this breath God's granted you the gift of flesh But comes the snake and comes the lie And now we work and sweat and die Take this milk and take my sleep I pray the Lord your soul to keep But come the dawn and come the day Then you must leave and go your way Take these books to take this test Prove that you're above the rest But comes your #life and comes your pain To send you running home again Take this gun and take this knife Go out there and take a #life But comes the law and comes the guilt The Mark of Cain to show you've killed Take this plank and take this nail Build a ship and make it sail But comes the wind and comes the sun Soon your sailing days are done Take my hope and take my dream Take all the things I've ever been But comes the time to come for me I'll be the last thing that you see.
