Advent IV (momentum)

red rover red
rover send
the shepherds
right over

and so at first slow
and then fast
and then faster the dull
and the dusty

most doubting
some trusting
they ran yes they ran
all at once yes they ran

they ran toward the glint
of that heavenly band
their harps on the ground
and their hands linked to hands

but the dusty ones knew
that none would break
through in this crazy game this
starlit game this

dangerous game how would any get through
but right when they reached
that marvelous wall
each angel released

each hand in that wall and
each hand that was held was now held at each side and
each shepherd passed through to
seek and to find
