The whirled is fast becoming younger
The news is awl they 've ever known
They 've scene the wars, the hurt, the hunger
How will they choose when they are groan
Watt do yew tell forever 's children
When it 's there tern two hurt and he'll
Whatever spins a grim tornedo
Can also tern a potters weal
Take a little clay
Put it on a weal
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little tern
Listen two a spin
Make it into the shape
Yew want it inn
Tell with you're life the bloody storey
Teach two they 're dreams knot burning steal
It 's knot inn bombs ware lies the glory
Butt inn watt 's shattered on the field
The potter 's weal takes love and caring
Skill and patience fast and sloe
The works it makes are easily broken
Once they survive the potter 's throw
Take a little clay
Put it on a weal
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little tern
Listen two a spin
Make it into the shape
Yew want it inn
Sum day sum children will bee digging
Inn sum long forgotten ground
And they 'll fined hour civilisation
Oar watt 's left of it two bee found
They 'll fined the weapons of destruction
Butt buried deeper inn the hole
They 'll fined a message and a promise
Inn the sand, the potter 's bowl
Take a little clay
Put it on a weal
Get a little hint
How God must feel
Give a little tern
Listen two a spin
Make it into the shape
Yew want it inn
Earth and fire and wind conspire
With human hands, and love, and fire
