The Children of La Follette
the children of La Follette have been heard
of progressive tradition proud
honest workers of rugged American heartland
history of connection
to America’s dining table
knowing their great value
struggling for a better day
heartland of America heard the calling
of fellow workers in Europe
and the middle east
soon entire earth will hear…
struggle also quintessentially American
return of 1930’s workers’ voices
supported by growing American millions
and worldwide billions
helping to fully realize
America.
