Analysis of 444,475,777,555
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Who is it Lord
That shines this light
That turns it on
And makes it bright
Twelve thirty one a time for fun
To leave the past behind
The next day is the first day
In the year to heal the blind
But now tonight the men on earth
Get drunk in their carousing
Because they could not realize
They killed the Lord’s espousing
