Fifty years ago today
She gave her only child away
To live a life easy to regret
Years went by
How time has flown
Her days are mostly spent alone
Daring to remember
Hoping to forget

Chorus:
This is My body broken just for you
For all you've been
And all you've been through
This is My blood
And when you've reached the end
I offer you again the body and blood

He fought a war against his will
Truth be known he's fighting still
He looks for hope
Through narrow blood-shot eyes
He slips into a polished pew
Lingers for an hour or two
Sometimes it feels better
To sit and cry awhile

(Chorus)

Bridge:
One by one we take the common cup
We remember and we lift it up

(Chorus)
