mothers would awake to feed their children
2
our brothers would awake to mend their nets and sails
3
mothers would awake to feed their children
4
our brothers would awake to mend their nets and sails
5
they had the boundless light of a new day dawning
6
and a burning living driving will
7
they had the light of a boundless new day dawning
8
they had a burning living driving will
9
meanwhile the old men sit on the top of a hill
10
waiting through your legislation
11
wading trudging through your debate
12
about whether or not to send
13
another hundred thousand young men and women
14
off
15
into the hurricane
16
no taxation without representation
17
we will not pay a toll in blood
18
the old men were sitting on top of the hill
19
while the younger
20
ushered a place for both down by the creek
21
singing they are following
22
cold and fishing to their marked graves
23
the old men sit on top of the hill
24
of 58,000
25
walking
26
walking across the plain i am descending
27
six feet underground
28
you send me here
29
every name
30
every name
31
upon this wall
32
you send me here
33
six feet under
34
why don't you take a short walk
35
walk out of your oval office
36
walk out of the state house
37
take a short walk across the lawn
38
and descend to six feet under and read those names
39
you're debating still debating whether or not to send me here
40
you're debating you're debating whether or not to send more over there
41
six feet under
42
you really do carry my weight
43
bats grazing
44
in the lighted sky above our houses
45
lightning bugs rising higher and higher
46
bats grazing in the sky
47
in the night sky above our houses
48
lightning bugs rising higher and higher
49
as the sun leaves behind
50
as the sun leaves behind
51
this valley
52
this waking valley song
53
a memorial
54
oh six feet to be under you really did
55
carry my weight
56
the earth i confess is not made to our unhappy state
57
and you're still debating
58
debate
59
debate
60
what is this?
61
a voice in his head
62
a voice comes quick and it fades on
63
it is this waking valley song
64
archaic and bent with time
65
it is this memory
66
it is his memory.
