¶Lyrics / Text

1. We raise our branches high today to sign Hosanna and to warn: The hands that wield a waving branch may also weave a crown of thorns. 2. We sing exultant songs today, yet singing we remember this: The lips that bring the sweetest praise may also bear the sharpest kiss. 3. We greet a golden dawn today and marvel as the darkness grows that even stalwart confidence may fail before the rooster crows. 4. And so our hearts are shaped today by palms, a kiss, a friend's denial, to hold the very simple prayer -- God, save us from the time of trial. From ''Songs for the Cycle'' ©2004 by Michael Hudson.
