Patti Smith - Whirl Away lyrics
Hello friend I've come a-calling Passively stationed Active patrol Sliding in high noon Like some reluctant sheriff Not want to get involved in at all Who stands guard for each other Why must we guard anything at all Anything at all From the earth's four corners The people are calling Forming questions But the questions are hard All men and brothers are killing each other And mother earth is ringing in wonder Who stands guard for each other Why must we guard anything at all Anything at all Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away There's a cross on the road There's a great will turning Some seeking answers Some are born with answers You can hold on to the blade And turn around forever Be flung into space into another kind of grace Who stands guard for each other Why must we guard anything at all Anything at all Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Some give up their hands Some give up their land Some giving their life There in the fields of green Stops life all around you And yet you will Cut someone down for their posesssions Some material things And our children they'll be blown away Wishes in the wind For the sake of their coat Or the colours of their coat For the colour of their skin Or the name of their shoes And the mother cries Why are they taking my son And the father wonders Why they've taken my boy He extended his hand He gave him his land He gave him his bread He gave him his heart Hello friend Hello friend ... |
