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 |
