For Want of a Prayer

For want of a Prayer
For whom there is no denial
The Nation heed be next to God
To be Godly and clean
Of such Characters we must glean
A harvest worthy of our Lord
A harvest worthy even this Hour

For want of an Anthem
Who would tell Ben
Who would trace the course of the Rubicon
Who would chart the light of the North Sun
To catch the Gremlin
Who would listen to that Huckleberry Finn

One would rather a violin
For that one just might be keen
