"Het zit niet goed met onze aarde"
Zei de Vader tot zijn Zoon
Die toen al zijn moed vergaarde
Hij dacht al aan zijn doornenkroon
"Hoe staat het toch met moeder aarde?"
Vroeg de ezel aan de dood
"Hoe groot is nu nog het gevaar dat
Ik me aan die rotssteen stoot"
Goedzittende pakken
Beeldig staande jurk
Valt er nog wat door te zakken
Ruik eens even aan de kurk
"Wees in jezusnaam als Jezus"
Zei de bijbel tegen hem
"Ook de opstanding des vlezes"
Vroeg hij met gebroken stem
refr.:
Zeven ballen en een piek
Jongens, wat een symboliek
Zeven ballen aan een boom
O, wat zijn we heden vroom
Laat de kerkklokken maar luiden
Raak je angst kwijt voor de nacht
Kijk, de wijzen uit het Zuiden
Vragen aan de wegenwacht
Waar het Oosten is gebleven
Want ze zijn de weg weer kwijt
Ze zoeken al een mensenleven
Naar de weg die toch naar Rome leidt
"Het loopt wel los, honger op aarde"
Zei de duivel tot zijn bruid
Die zo zuinig zegels spaarde
Dan was ze veel goedkoper uit
"Het valt wel mee, vrede op aarde"
Zei de duivel tot zijn vrind
Die nog steeds zijn Colt bewaart
Omdat hij dat zo veilig vindt
Meevallende sterren
Loslopende zon
Schijn nog even in de serre
Door de spijlen van het balkon
"Wees in vredesnaam tevreden"
Zei de vrede tegen hem
"Maar het leed is al geleden"
Zei hij met gebroken stem
refr.
