This land was ours far as the eye could see We took it from the Cherokee with a scalping knife And a white man's disease When the smallpox ravaged their towns We came in and burnt them down And took this dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground I took a prisoner 'cause I needed a wife I broke her will she gave me a son I spared her life It was a fate much worse than death Yeah we were kissed by the devil's breath Set down on this dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground We'll lay our bodies down Put 'em six feet in the ground And when the long cold winter ends Oh the sun comes shinin' in The crops will grow again In this dark and bloody ground They gave me three hundred dollars Put a pen in my hand I was drunk on corn liquor I signed the rights away to my land The coal company tore my homestead down Ripped the black gold from the ground Left a hole in this dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground If Jesus was born in Kentucky They'd make him pay for his nails Worse yet he'd have to work off his debt Down here in this hell Where they pay you off in company scrip And your life it don't mean shit Just a piece of this dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground This dark and bloody ground I will lay my body down Put me six feet in the ground And when the long cold winter ends The sun comes shinin' in And the crops will grow againDedication

There's a blood red circle On the cold dark ground And the rain is falling down The church doors thrown open I can hear the organ's song But the congregation's gone My city of ruins My city of ruins Now the sweet veils of mercy Drift through the evening trees Young men on the corner Like scattered leaves The bordered up windows The empty streets While my brother's down on his knees My city of ruins My city of ruins Come on rise up! Come on rise up! Now there's tears on the pillow Darling where we slept And you took my heart when you left Without your sweet kiss My soul is lost, my friend Now tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins My city's in ruins Now with these hands I pray Lord With these hands For the strength Lord With these hands For the faith Lord With these hands We pray for your love Lord Pray for the lost Lord Pray for this world Lord I pray Lord With these hands For the strength Lord With these hands With these hands Come on rise up!

From 'Til We Outnumber 'em, Various Artists (2000) The crops are all in, and the peaches are rotting, The oranges are piled in their creseote dumps, You're flying them back to the Mexico border To pay all their money to wade back again. Chorus Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita, Adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria. You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane, And all they will call you will be deportee. My father's own father he waded that river, They took all the money he made in his life. My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees They rode the truck till they took down and died. (Chorus) Some of us are illegal and some are not wanted, Our work contracts out and we have to move on. Six hundred miles to that Mexico border, They chase us like outlaws, and rustlers, and thieves. (Chorus) We died in your hills; we died in your deserts; We died in your valleys and died on your plains; We died neath your trees, we died in your bushes, Both sides of the river, we died just the same. (Chorus) The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon, A fireball of lightning, it scarred all our hills, Who are these friends all scattered like dry leaves? The radio says they are just deportees. (Chorus) Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? Is the is the best way we can grow our good fruit? To fall like dry leaves, to rot on the topsoil, And be known by no name except deportee? (Chorus)Protection (B. Springsteen)

From Silver Lining, Nils Logren(1991) Today I'm thinkin' about the world we live in All the love and hate that's floatin' around All the times I felt so lost and helpless You stood by me, you never let me down Still I keep throwin' up these walls Most of them I've built with stones You tear 'em down and bridge the distance Knowin' we ain't here to be alone So let your blue heart open wide Let's never leave our dreams behind It would comfort and restore my pride If you let me be your valentine Our differences are part of life Still love will pass the test of time I want you everyday and night Girl, won't you be my valentine Be my valentine Be my valentine Be my valentine Oh Still I keep throwin' up these walls Most of them I've built with stones You tear 'em down and bridge the distance Knowin' we ain't here to be alone So let your blue heart open wide Let's never leave our dreams behind It would comfort and restore my pride If you let me be your valentine Our differences are part of life Still love will pass the test of time I want you everyday and night Girl, won't you be my valentine Be my valentine Be my valentine Be my valentine Be my valentine...Vigilante Man (W.

From We Are the World - U.S.A. for Africa, Various Artists(1985) There comes a time when we need a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending day by day That someone, somehow will soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth - you know love is all we need (Chorus) We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Well, send'em you your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us By turning stone to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand (Chorus) When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, let's realize That one change can only come When we stand together as one (Chorus)We Shall Overcome (C. Tindley - ?)

From Dedication, Gary U.S. Bonds (1981) She promises to be yours forever and always And you're too young to know it don't work out that way When she kisses you and your heart skips And you're ten feet off the ground Soon you'll be crying and that when you'll have found That Your love is gonna let you down, boy Your love is gonna let you down Your love is gonna let you down, boy Your love is gonna let you down Well it's kisses and sweet talk When she first starts coming round But soon tears start falling down You say every day she makes your dreams come true But soon those very dreams will be the death of you Well Your love is gonna let you down, boy Your love is gonna let you down Your love is gonna let you down, boy Your love is gonna let you down No cold denials, no-one really lied It was time spent, promise inplied And suddenly you see something new in her eyes And in that moment you realise Lately you've been walking the streets at night Like an empty shadow in the morning light Like an empty shadow that's suddenly found That your love is gonna let you down Your love is gonna let you down, boy Your love is gonna let you down Your love is gonna let you down, boy Your love is gonna let you down
