To All The Poets
Andrew Peterson

To all the poets I have known

Who saw the beauty in the common place

Saw incarnation in a Baby's face

And in a drop of rain the stars

When there was mud and blood and tears

You sang a song at night to calm our fears

You made a moment last a thousand years

You are the poets I have known


To all the poets I have known

You built a kingdom out of sea and sand

You conquered armies with a marching band

You carved a galaxy in stone

You built an altar out of bread

And spent your soul to see the children fed

You wove your heart in every story read

Thank God for poets I have known


And you keep in dreamin'

When the dreams all fade

When friends desert you

You're the ones who stays

To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed

You are the poets I have known


You turned your tears into a string of pearls

You held your sorrow high to light the world

When I thought I was alone

In every man you saw the boy

The hidden heart the dark could not destroy

Slipped past the dragons with a tale of joy

Thank God for poets I have known


'Cause you keep on dreamin'

When the dreams all fade

When friends desert me

You're the ones who stayed

To write the prayers when every prayer had been prayed


You walking wounded of my life

Who bled compassion in the heat of strife

You stood between my heart and satan's knife

With just the armour of a song

You are the heroes and the brave

Who with a slender pen our passions save

And chisel epitaphs upon the graves

Of all the poets I have known


So keep on dreamin'

Keep on dreamin'

So keep on dreamin'

Keep on dreamin'

Keep on dreamin'
