Lift Up Every Stone |
| CHORUS: |
| You gotta lift up every stone now sister |
| Gotta lift up every stone now sister |
| Gotta lift up every stone now sister |
| Gotta clear this field and build that wall |
| He was the prince of the county to the manor born |
| The sheets were bloody and dirty and torn |
| Nobody saw nothing, not out this way |
| And they probably won’t until the judgement day |
| CHORUS |
| There was a mighty whispering down at the church |
| About the son of the father of a woman got hurt |
| They were looking all over for somebody to pay |
| And that’s you and me sister now every day |
| CHORUS |
| Now the sun is bloody red |
| And when it’s gone somebody’ll be dead |
| Don’t you cry a tear for me Because I did what I could just to be free yeah |
| You gotta lift up every stone now sister |
| 'cause one is the truth and the other’s a lie |
| You gotta lift up every stone now sister |
| 'till they tear down the wall to make you cry |
| CHORUS TWICE |
| We gotta clear this field and build that wall |
| We gotta… |
