Trader

Trader sailed a jeweled crown
Humanity rowed the way
Explorin' to command more land
Schemin' how to rule the waves
Trader spied a virgin plain
And named it for velvet robes
Wrote home declarin'
«There's a place where totally folks are free
Nourishment fills the prairies and the hillsides
Animals stalk the mountains and the seaside
Fish abound the lakes and birds the skies
Signed sincerely»
Trader found the jeweled land
Was occupied before he came
By humans of a second look
Who couldn’t even write their names
Trader said they’re not as good
As folks who wear velvet robes
Wrote home again and asked «Please help
Their breasts I see are not like me
Banish them from our prairies and our hillsides
Clear them from our mountains and our seaside
I want them off our lakes so please reply
Signed sincererly»
Trader got the crown okay
Cleared humanity from his way
He civilized all he saw
Makin' changes every single day
Shops sprang over the prairies and the hillsides
Roads cut through the mountains to the seaside
The other kind fled to hide, by and by
And so sincerely, cried"
Makin' it softly
Like the evenin' sea, tryin' to be
Makin' it go
Creatin' it gently
Like a mornin' breeze, a life of ease
Eyes that see beyond tomorrow
Through to the time without hours
Passin' the Eden of Flowers
Reason to live
Embracin' together
Like the mergin' streams, cryin' dreams
Makin' it full
Beggin' intently
For a slight reprieve, a night of ease
Hands to touch beyond the sorrow
On to the force without power
Piercin' the crust of the tower
Reason to live
Hopin'
Like a buddin' rose humblin' shows
Makin' it
Strugglin' lonely
Like a desert field, break the seal, make it real
Ears to hear beyond the showers
On to the suns of tomorrows
Burnin' the flesh of all sorrows
Reason to live
Reason to continue
Reason to go on
Reason to live
Reason to live
Reason to live
