Axeman

Hello, I am the axeman
But don't you be afraid
I don't come right in time
I hope it's not too late

I'm coming to sing you a song
About a human's state
When he realizes
He has to change his faith

All that was told him
And all he has heared
All that was showed him
All that he saw

It was a paradox
And it's stumbled through his brain
Made him lots of doubts
Made him nearly go insane

He heared talking about peace
In the school where he's learned
But when he watched TV
He saw the Vietkong burn

The humans and the houses
The animals and the trees
But now he sees them all still living
Finding a little peace

And that's why I'm singing
A song about a human's state
When he realizes
That it is never too late

Hello I am the axeman
But don't you be afraid
I don't come right in time
I know it's not too late
