an original lyric from my :
Grapes of Wrath Song-Cycle.

The Song of Emma –)

O I was not like Virgin Mary
I was not visited by the angel of the Lord…
I only wished for a simple life
And to keep the wolves from my door.

There came a husband
Then a family
And all the pains that cause such tears
The wheels of time
And huge History
More than a mother should have to bear

If I could save the world in one breath
I would make every human free
The land of milk
The land of honey
Alas
Was never meant to be.
