Lyrics for Let Us Begin by John Denver:
| | | Artist: | John Denver |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Let Us Begin | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 202 | | | | Lyrics: | I am the son of a grassland farmer
Western Oklahoma nineteen forty three
I always felt
grateful to live in the land of the free
I gave up my father to South Korea
The mind of my
brother to Vietnam
Now theres a banker who says I must give up my land
There are four
generations of blood in this topsoil
Four generations of love on this farm
Before I give up
I would gladly give up my right arm
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding
the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands
of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
I had a son and my son was a
soldier
He was so like my father, he was so much like me
To be a good comrade was the best
that he dreamed he could be
He gave up his future to revolution
His life to a battle that
just cant be won
For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun
I remember the nine
hundred days of Leningrad
The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold
I remember the moments
I prayed I would never grow old
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the
war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of
the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
For the first time in my life I feel
like a prisoner
A slave to the ways of the powers that be
And I fear for my children, as I
fear for the for the future I see
Tell me how can it be were still fighting each other
What
does it take for a people to learn
If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will
burn
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it
right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
