Let the Workers Build Rail
Let the workers build rail
and let their children have life
We need to transform
diversify
convert
swords into plowshares
it says so in a holy book
some call it the word of god
others say it just makes
good sense
better use of our resources
sitting on the train
gazing out the window
as the world passes by
I want to go back
to the way the good lord
made us
wise advice
swords into plowshares
In the present
the swords rule
the land is paved over
car parks
the earth cries out
for breath
we don't hear
our minds occupied
$$$ and success
our hearts hardened
we can't breathe
I want to go back
to the way the good lord
made us
spirit
and love
the children should come first
let them have life
amen
