Remembering that old song, It Is No Secret What God Can Do, I sat down in a mischievous mood and wrote this one, kind of tongue-in-cheek cynical, mocking the myopic fundamentalism that draws crowds in every culture... i guess it's the illusion it provides, of understanding, of being right.

lyrics

Maybe you'll starve to death perhaps a bayonet
will bring you home again to his lovin arms
maybe the landlord's thug perhaps a billy club
will bring you home again to his loving arms

chorus:
it is no secret what god can do
what he's done for others he'll do for you

2.
maybe some child abuse perhaps a naughty noose
will bring you home again to his loving arms
maybe a hurricane perhaps Zan Zinger's cane
will bring you home again to his lovin arms

refrain:
when you are on the street steppin across the street
look that you don't chance to meet a bumper from Detroit

3.
maybe some celebrant with consciousness so bent
will bring you home again to his lovin arms
maybe a lovely lay will bring you your first aids
and bring you home again to his loving arms - chorus

finale:
like the fishes in their swirling dance
we are subject to the nets of chance
don't it make you wanna go 'n prance
in his lovin arms - chorus
