Blue Sedans

According To John


The people came -yeah they came in the blue sedans 
to a graveyard in my town 
The people came 

With plastic roses faded grey from red 
Seems that they come here every year 
crying their hopeless tears 

We do not grieve as they who have no hope 
we're not abandoned as orphans -alone 
In Jesus we're not walkin' `round 
like this is all there is 
we're in this world, but we're not of it 
'cause we are His, We are His 

A man sold guns away, on a corner of my town 
And he was open only sundays and he liked it that way 

Sir, I've gotta ask you, what's that picture there 
"That was my boy -my only boy- we lost him in the war" 
Before my pain was carved in stone 
I met a man - sold guns away
