Strong Enough To Be Gentle
FAWM # 26
Paul Bunyan kicked back with Babe the Blue Ox
They both had muscles like rocks on more rocks
At night they would drink ale and tell tall tales of glory
And this song here is just another story
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Grace to face the weak and temperamental
The battle fought is spiritual and mental
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Well Paul and Babe met up with John Henry on the trail
When along came Johnny Appleseed with a pail
Let’s plant these seeds for the children’s children
From up on high in the sky God gave an Amen!
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Grace to face the weak and temperamental
The battle fought is spiritual and mental
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Well Crazy Horse came riding by a natural hero true
He weeps when the skies are gray and when they’re blue
He said Paul why did the pale face do this evil deed
Paul sighed and cried it was all because of greed
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Grace to face the weak and temperamental
The battle fought is spiritual and mental
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Myths of madness like Judas’s treacherous kiss
Tyrants with iron brains banishing banal bliss
Hey Paul here’s the call freedom’s facing death
A huff and a puff the dragon breathes his breath
On the Great Plains they’re singing songs of romance
On the reservation the Hopi are sharing their dance
Paul answered the call by turning the other cheek
Strong enough to be gentle and blessed are the meek
Are you strong enough to be gentle
Grace to face the weak and temperamental
The battle fought is spiritual and mental
Are you strong enough to be gentle
