Haver

So many people have lost their lives Too many husbands have struck their wives when can we get over this horrible hate will we learn our lesson before it's too late there goes the sun there goes the sun! we've walked so many miles and we've only begun so march onward my son into the distant blue don't be afraid I'll come back for you So many lies stacked up before us all will we catch ourselves before we fall I guess it's not fair to me and you that the walk is so long and the breaks are so few there goes the moon there goes the moon! down and out and under but don't give up so soon so keep forward my son and keep walking on before the night is over you'll be ready for the dawn why is there no one left there on the hill is it because we shot him down with our words that kill when will we learn that it's far from over will it be when we rest under ground beneath earth and clover there goes my boy there goes my boy! onward he marches in search of pride and joy just keep headin' forward though you're tired and sore your walkin' days aren't over but my son, you're ready, for more!!!
