Hard Songs Songtext
von Nancy Kerr

Some kind stranger grows my food
Back bent hard in the harvest sun
Red is the flag and red the mud
Hard songs running in her blood

Some kind stranger picks my coffee
Back bent deep in the forest heat
Green is the flag and green the plant
Cold seas running in his heart

Some kind stranger sews my clothes
Back bent low on the sweatshop row
Black is the flag and the smoke of coal
Mother′s tears running in your soul


Mother's tears running in your soul
Cold seas running in your heart
Hard songs running in your blood

Nimble fingers stitching pride
Hunger rules the rich divide
Red is the blood and black the hole
Mother′s tears running in your soul

Mother's tears running in your soul
Cold seas running in your heart
Hard songs running in your blood

Seabound sailor give us wings
Nations end where peace begins
Labours end and the soul departs
Cold seas running in our hearts

Mother's tears running in my soul
Cold seas running in my heart
Hard songs running in my blood
