|
these hands will never rest |
|
these hands will never rest |
|
we cling as one |
|
beneath the lowest rung |
|
bound and blessed |
|
to overcome |
|
the weary will protest |
|
the weary will protest |
|
until the calm |
|
of death becomes a lock |
|
and we obtain |
|
my heart's refrain |
|
all we'll ever be |
|
all we'll ever be |
|
they'll beat us with their guns |
|
they'll meet us with their guns |
|
convinced they've won |
|
they'll be the first to hum |
|
the song we learned |
|
from tired tongues |
|
the sun will never set |
|
the sun will never set |
|
for us to rest |
|
we'll be the last to go |
|
into the throng |
|
when darkness grows |
|
all we'll ever be |
|
all we'll ever be |
|
all we'll ever be |
|
all we'll ever be |
|
all we'll ever be |
