The Great Mandala (The Wheel of Life) (Lifelines Live) - Peter, Paul & Mary

So I told him

That he'd better

Shut his mouth

And do his job like a man

And he answered

Listen father

I will never

Kill another

He thinks he's better

Than his brother that died

What the hell does

He think he's doing

To his father who brought him up right

Take your place on the Great Mandala

As it moves through your brief moment

On time

Win or lose now

You must choose now

And if you lose you're only losing your life

Tell the jailer

Not to bother

With his meal

Of bread and water today

He is fasting

Till the killing's over

He's a martyr

He thinks he's a prophet

But he's a coward

He's just playing a game

He can't do it he can't change it

It's been going on for ten thousand years

Take your place on the Great Mandala

Great Mandala

As it moves through your brief moment of time

Win or lose now you must choose now

And if you lose you're only losing your life

What's that rumbling

What's that rumbling

In the courtyard

In the courtyard

Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate

What's that they are saying

Kill the traitor

Kill the traitor

Kill the traitor

Kill the traitor

Lalalala

Lalalala

Lalalala

Lalalala

Take your place on the Great Mandala

As it moves through your brief moment of time

Win or lose now you must choose now

And if you lose you're only losing your life

Tell the people

They're safe now

Hunger stopped him

He lies still in his cell

Death has gagged accusations

We are free now we can kill now

We can hate now

Now we can end the world

We're not guilty he was crazy

And it's been going on for ten thousand years

Take your place on the Great Mandala

As it moves through your brief moment of time

Win or lose now you must choose now

And if you lose you're only losing

And if you lose you're only losing

And if you lose you're only losing

And if you lose you're only wasting your life
