Song of Donkey Lyrics

Silent Service

[Verse 1]
Walking that narrow line
Weight upon the frame
Looking neither left nor right
Hoof hitting the stone

[Chorus]
Steady heart and heavy wood
Living like a saint
Carrying what must be hauled
Righteousness is service
Silent under summer sky
Patient till the end
Righteousness is service
Silent under summer sky

[Verse 2]
Born to pull the cart
Never wanting war
Faithful steps on red dirt
Bound to every mile

[Chorus]
Steady heart and heavy wood
Living like a saint
Carrying what must be hauled
Righteousness is service
Silent under summer sky
Patient till the end
Righteousness is service
Silent under summer sky

[Bridge]
Righteousness is holding fast
To bear the weight
To keep the pace
Answer the call
Humble in the morning light
Strong when sun goes down

[Chorus]
Steady heart and heavy wood
Living like a saint
Carrying what must be hauled
Righteousness is service
Silent under summer sky
Patient till the end
Righteousness is service
Silent under summer sky
