Have faith in your little sons of second fiddle

lyrics

We all wrestle with "souls"
To find the goodness we know
To find that we're in a maze all the days...

Two anxious lovers wrestle in the snow
And the first kiss turns to throwing blows
And they kiss each other on the face
And hit each other in the...

Sons of the second string, we are the waterboys!

Which is the lessor of blows,
The kind that punctures and slows
Or the kind that kisses bestow?
Who's to say?

Two anxious lovers wrestle in the snow
And the first kiss turns to throwing blows
And they kiss each other on the face
And hit each other in the...

Sons of the second string, we are the waterboys!

By God's grace we'll save the day...

Have faith in your little sons of second fiddle now!
