[00:52.408]Mothers would awake to feed their children
[00:57.434]Our brothers would awake to mend their nets and sails
[01:04.074]Mothers would awake to feed their children
[01:10.952]Our brothers would awake to mend their nets and sails
[01:15.923]They had the boundless light of a new day dawning
[01:20.366]And a burning living driving will
[01:29.295]They had the light of a boundless new day dawning
[01:35.436]They had a burning living driving will
[01:41.726]Meanwhile the old men sit on the top of a hill
[01:46.593]Waiting through your legislation
[01:54.024]Wading; trudging, through your debate
[01:59.060]About whether or not to send another hundred thousand young men and women off into the hurricane
[02:15.490]No taxation without representation
[02:21.273]We will not pay a toll in blood
[02:31.349]The old men were sitting on the top of the hill
[02:36.978]While the younger ushered a place for both down by the creek
[02:43.107]Singing they are following
[02:46.184]Cold and fishing to their marked graves
[02:50.011]The old men sit on the top of the hill of 58,000
[03:01.444]Walking
[03:02.913]Walking across the plain I am descending six feet underground
[03:10.340]You send me here
[03:12.290]Every name
[03:13.740]Every name
[03:15.097]Upon this wall
[03:16.927]You send me here
[03:18.667]Six feet under
[03:21.300]Why don't you take a short walk
[03:29.553]Walk out of your oval office
[03:33.332]Walk out of the state house
[03:35.882]Take a short walk across the lawn
[03:39.254]And descend to six feet under and read those names
[03:44.498]And you're debating, still debating whether or not to send me here
[03:49.476]You're debating, you're debating whether or not to send more over there
[03:57.066]Six feet under
[03:59.311]You really do carry my weight
[04:09.515]Bats grazing in the lighted sky above our houses
[04:14.930]Lightning bugs rising higher and higher
[04:18.602]Bats grazing in the sky in the night sky above our houses
[04:24.641]Lightning bugs rising higher and higher
[04:28.254]As the sun leaves behind
[04:31.633]As the sun leaves behind this valley
[04:36.464]This waking valley song
[04:39.714]A memorial
[04:52.644]Oh, six feet to be under you really did
[04:56.231]Carry my weight
[04:59.085]The earth, I confess, is not made to our unhappy state
[05:04.277]And you're still debating
[05:05.598]Debate
[05:06.663]Debate
[05:11.693]What is this?
[05:14.796]A voice in his head
[05:16.799]A voice comes quick and it fades on
[05:20.217]It is this waking valley song, archaic and bent with time
[05:25.443]It is this memory
[05:27.132]It is his memory
