Lyrics
Well the work of working people
Seldom fruits in their own time
So they labor for their children
With stardust in their eyes
Knowing all too well that through their days
They will never see a time
When the hands that keep them bent and kneeled
Fall prey to their own lies
But now some strange notion
Has taken ahold of us
It's the common nation of sorrow
Hear the boots march through the dust
When so much pain is intertwined
There are none who can tear it down
You cannot bury those already
Resting beneath the ground
And the tears well up within us
For the universal truth
That our mothers loved us fiercely
Though they knew not what to do
And with their love, we'll look around
We will try to recognize
What it takes to build foundations
That will stand the test of time
Well time goes marching on
Yea the ghost of the living past
But the dead will finally sleep so sweet
When the people rise at last
