Whirl Away Lyrics

Hello friend, I've come a callin' Passively stationed, active patrol Slidin' in at high noon like some reluctant sheriff Not wanna get involved in it 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 equations but the questions are hard All men are brothers, killing each other And Mother Earth is wringing in wonder
Who stands guard for each other? Oh, why must we guard anything at all? Anything at all
Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away
There's a cross on the road, there's a great mill turnin' Some seeking answers, some born to dancers You can hold on the blade and turn around forever Be flung into space into another kind of grace
Who stands guard for each other? Oh, why must we guard anything at all? Anything at all
Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away
Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away now Whirl away
Give [Incomprehensible] Some giveth their hand Some giveth their land Some giveth their life
You lay in the fields of grain, the staff of life all around you But yet you, you will cut someone down For their possessions, some material thing And our children they're being blown away like wishes in the wind
For the sake of their coat Or the colors of their coat Or the color of their skin Or the name on their shoes
And the mother cries "Why they taken my son?" And the father wonders "Are they taking my boy?"
He extended his hand He gave them his land He gave them his bread He gave them his heart
Said, "Hello friend" Hello friend Hello friend Hello friend
