Woke up one day
and made his way down
to the water front as he
did all the days
as longs as the ships made it in
stands for a cause
stands for a union
for another day is gone
a dying breed of workers
who died for the age that we're in
in a cloudy haze
the fog drifted in
and men wore his colors
who chose to begin
as a younger man
working through his days
to carry home the food
to carry home the pay
Woke up one day
we all have a cause
worth waging war
worth making peace to keep
we all have a love
whatever that is
or whom is thee to seek
there comes a day
if were lucky enough
and the cards fall our way, i pray
to sit with the birds
and take the boots off
to sit with the birds
and take the boots off
