[00:15.47] [00:18.43]He said [00:19.01]Lately I have noticed [00:21.00] [00:23.55]Folks don't live with peace and joy. [00:27.15] [00:29.27]With frowns and worries in their faces [00:31.60] [00:34.67]They're lost and don't know where to go. [00:37.82] [00:40.07]He said I'll get the people straightened [00:43.30] [00:45.55]By putting on a puppet show. [00:48.41] [00:50.45]The young New Mexican puppeteer [00:52.52] [00:53.10]He saw the people all lived in fear. [00:55.82]He thought that maybe they listen to [00:58.60]A puppet telling them what to do. [01:01.16]Now he got some string and [01:02.46]He got some wood [01:03.96]He did some carving and he was good [01:06.10] [01:06.84]And folks came around so they could hear [01:09.28]The young New Mexican puppeteer. [01:11.41] [01:21.44]First he carved out young Abe Lincoln [01:24.03] [01:26.78]He will teach them civil rights. [01:29.37] [01:32.14]Then a king named Martin Luther [01:34.59] [01:37.22]So they'd recall his peaceful fight. [01:40.20] [01:42.87]Old Mark Twain his wit and wisdom [01:46.24] [01:48.25]Will surely show them life is fun. [01:51.14] [01:54.07]But he smiled with satisfaction [01:55.60] [01:59.21]When the Prince of Peace was done. [02:02.03] [02:03.96]The young New Mexican puppeteer...

[02:24.74] [02:35.04]Now his puppet shows were clever [02:37.67] [02:40.23]And he made the people laugh [02:43.19] [02:45.76]When he got across the message [02:49.01] [02:51.13]To walk along love's open path. [02:53.77] [02:56.74]He lived in his own puppet theatre [02:59.34] [03:02.08]Decked out with spotlights yellow and red. [03:04.88] [03:07.37]And then they wrote him all the papers [03:10.08] [03:12.64]And this is what the story said.
