Mossdog

Man's best bryophyte. Only musical.

Mossdog is the creation of a woman with a synthesizer, a computer, a great deal of passion, and virtually no musical theory training. She has a lot of wonderful friends who back her up, and she appreciates them all.

Story behind the song

The world needs more tuba.  I suppose it really needs more rock tuba, but this was a first experiment with brass.

Lyrics

I fear the lyrics are a bit cheesy.  Fortunately, this version is strictly instrumental, so you can ignore them at will.

----------------------

To any God who might be listening,
I give a prayer for love and peace on earth.
If it takes faith, You know I'm lacking;
But here's my prayer, for what it's worth.

Let there be peace in distant lands
And bring our children home once more.
If hate's required in this world,
Then let us hate the ways of war.

Peace upon this earth.
I'll pray for peace upon this earth.

I have no scars from seeing bullets fly,
But I can pray into the snowy night.
If it takes faith, You know I'm lacking;
But mercy on us all tonight.

And all the martyrs of a thousand graves
And thousands more would say the same.
If it takes faith, you know I'm lacking
But blind or sighted, I'll acclaim You, if --

You bring Your peace to distant lands
And bring lost children home once more,
And turn the faithfuls' hearts toward peace
That all may hate the ways of war.

Peace upon this earth.
God, bring us peace upon this earth.
