Christ Alive

Bears a child, half heaven, half earth
Falls from heavenly tree, then birth
Strange upheaving, side-lunging strides
Christ alive, I can't be eat

"Best to guard I," was the cry
"Guard against the world," says I
I said, "Fire's danger indeed"
Then said "Fire is what you need"

Chants the power and chants I am
Chants the history of the clam

Hang about hang about now
First leaf, last leaf, like and how
Bears a child, half heaven, half earth
Falls from heavenly tree, then birth
Chants the power and chants I am
Chants the history of the clam
