Brother Joseph
Was a simple man
Collected rubbish

For his building plans
Alabama clay
Shells from the sea

Broken china plates
And rosary beads


Ave Maria
Ave Maria


Well he never saw
The wonders of the world
But he built them all

In perfect miniature
People talk about
The places they've been

But Joseph
Found peace within


And when time erodes
All things manmade
True devotion

Will still remain
