The Great Mandala (The Wheel of Life) Lyrics


So I told him that he'd better shut his mouth
And do his job like a man
And he answered "Listen, father""I will never kill another"
He thinks he's better than his brother that died
What the hell does he think he's doing
To his father who brought him up right?Take your place on the great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only losing your lifeTell the jailer not to bother
With his meal of bread and water today
He is fasting 'til the killings overHe's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet
But he's a coward, he's just playing a game
He can't do it, he can't change it
It's been going on for ten thousand yearsTake your place on the great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Win or lose now, you must choose now
And if you lose you're only losing your lifeTell the people they are safe now
Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell

Death has gagged his accusationsWe are free now, we can kill now
We can hate now, now we can end the world
We're not guilty, he was crazy
And it's been going on for ten thousand yearsTake your place on the great Mandala
As it moves through your brief moment of time
Win or lose now you must choose now
And if you lose you've only wasted your life

The trio Peter, Paul and Mary (often PP&M) is an American musical group that was one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s. The trio comprises Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. The group was created by manager Albert Grossman, who sought to create a folk "supergroup" by bringing together "a tall blonde (Travers), a funny guy (Stookey), and a good looking guy (Yarrow)." He launched the group in 1961, booking them into the Bitter End, a coffee house in New York City's Greenwich Village that was a favorite place to hear folk artists.
