Kevin Browne: Songs
Bread of the World
(Kevin Browne)
November, 1998
* Francis Schaeffer wrote and spoke about the events during the uprising in Hungary in 1956. This song is for those who have been poisoned by the false hopes of the communist revolution and the sixties revolution.
Soldiers cross, iron steeds
Feeding on the poor with dialectic needs
Force them down to believe a lie
Tell them no truth or your cause may die
The Thesis broke, very slow
Broken English on the radio
No one came to their aid
But some souls would still be saved
No there never was a revolution
They just slipped into the dark
And their political resolutions
They never touched the mark
No there never was a revolution
It was just poison in the fray
And the remnants of their pollution
Still choke our thoughts today
Bread of the world break for me, only mercy and light can help me see
Soldiers cross, flowered fields
Feeding on the gains of their parent’s yields
Challenge all authority
Build no framework, then say “let it be”
Send your children off to school
No absolutes, they got no “golden rule”
Wood-stocks, the drugs deployed
This is the generation in the void
No there never was a revolution
They just camped out in the park
And their peaceful resolutions
They never touched the mark
No there never was a revolution
It was just poison in the fray
And the remnants of their pollution
Still choke our thoughts today
Bread of the world, break for me, only mercy and light can help me see
