Some people hungry for a green-backed bill |
|
Some folks hunger for the top of the hill |
|
Some people just trying to get a decent meal |
|
But I know that we can can turn it around |
|
Some people sleeping in a fine feather bed |
|
Some folks are dreaming of the old homestead |
|
Some just need a place to lay their head |
|
But I know that we can can turn it around |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
|
If there's one thing that I found |
|
There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
|
River bottom up to home on high |
|
End of the line or the endless sky |
|
Jet setting or just getting by |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
|
If there's one thing that I found |
|
There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
|
From the Ninth Ward up to Pettycoat lane |
|
One man's joy has been another man's pain |
|
But the sun keeps shining through the driving rain |
|
And I know that we can turn it around |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
|
If there's one thing that I found |
|
There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn |
|
I know that we can turn it around |
