LYRICS:
Saint Paul said to Saint Stephen
Well I guess that makes us even
As Stephen wiped the rubble from his brow

And Stephen said to Paul
You’ve seen one you’ve seen ‘em all
I hope that we can laugh about it now

And Henry said to Becket
I don’t know what you expected
Even God said render Caesar what is his

Said Becket to the king
That won’t amount to anything
If you can’t recognize just what it is

You don’t know how it will break from where it bends
Just don’t mistake the middle for the end

And Flannery O’Connor
Couldn’t summon up the honor
To sit and face James Baldwin in the South

She knew the Truth was something more
Than what she had a stomach for
Or a misfit’s kind of grace to sort it out

A calm came over sister
Saint Theresa Benedicta
Praying in a train car heading east

For Love’s lasting mediation
In our reconciliation
That could swallow all creation in its breach

You don’t know how it will break from where it bends
Just don’t mistake the middle for the end

(JAMES BALDWIN: "Love has never been a popular movement, and no one's ever wanted really to be free. The world is held together, really it is, held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. What you've gotta remember is that what you're looking at is also you, everyone you're looking at is also you")

You don’t know how it will break from where it bends
Just don’t mistake the middle for the end

What you give and what you take, it all depends
But just don’t mistake the middle for the end
Don’t mistake the middle for the end
