Translation
Bilingual
Saint Paul said to Saint Stephen
Well I guess that makes us even
As Stephen wiped the rubble off 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
She 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
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, but just don't mistake, don't mistake, the middle for the end
Don't mistake the middle for, don't mistake the middle for the end
