This Is How (from Afar...)
they came from afar...
they came with tulip star
they sat down and said,
"this is how we think".
they didn't grow too much
in grace and knowledge -
but sat down and said,
"this is how we think".
the way was narrow
the way was narrow
the way was narrow -
so they sat down and said,
"this is how we think".
but the Way continued on
The path was rather long
not all knew
where it went
yet those who followed it
they would sing a song
while others (also) sat down
and said,
"this is how we think".
