John Denver - Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For?) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I am the son of a grassland farmer
  • Western Oklahoma nineteen forty three
  • I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free
  • I gave up my father to South Korea
  • The mind of my brother to Vietnam
  • Now theres a banker who says I must give up my land
  • There are four generations of blood in this topsoil
  • Four generations of love on this farm
  • Before I give up I would gladly give up my right arm
  • What are we making weapons for
  • Why keep on feeding the war machine
  • We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
  • Take it away from the hands of the poor
  • Tell me, what are we making weapons for
  • I had a son and my son was a soldier
  • He was so like my father, he was so much like me
  • To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be
  • He gave up his future to revolution
  • His life to a battle that just cant be won
  • For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun
  • I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad
  • The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold
  • I remember the moments I prayed I would never grow old
  • What are we making weapons for
  • Why keep on feeding the war machine
  • We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
  • Take it away from the hands of the poor
  • Tell me, what are we making weapons for
  • For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner
  • A slave to the ways of the powers that be
  • And I fear for my children, as I fear for the for the future I see
  • Tell me how can it be were still fighting each other
  • What does it take for a people to learn
  • If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn
  • What are we making weapons for
  • Why keep on feeding the war machine
  • We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
  • Take it away from the hands of the poor
  • Tell
