Ave Maria Grotto

Kate Campbell


Brother Joseph 
Was a simple man
Collected rubbish 
For his building plans
Alabama clay 
Shells from the sea
Broken china plates 
And rosary beads

Ave Maria
Ave Maria

Well he never saw 
The wonders of the world
But he built them all 
In perfect miniature
People talk about 
The places they've been
But Joseph 
Found peace within

And when time erodes 
All things manmade
True devotion 
Will still remain
