Isn't it strange how princesses and kings In clown-ragged capers in sawdust rings While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules Each must make his life as flowing in Tumbling block on a stepping stone While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules Look when the rain has fallen from the sky You know the sun will be only with us for a while While common people like you and me We'll be builders for eternity Each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and the book of rules

Based on a poem by R. L. Sharpe from the 1890s Isn’t it strange That princes and kings, And clowns that caper In sawdust rings, And common people Like you and me Are builders for eternity? Each is given a bag of tools, A shapeless mass, A book of rules; And each must make - Ere life is flown - A stumbling block Or a steppingstone.
