Share of the Land Songtext
von The Guess Who

Have you been around?
Have you done your share of comin′ down
On different things that people do?
Have you been aware?
You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you
In a year from now

Maybe I′ll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I'll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they'll be givin′ away
When we all live together, we′re talkin' ′bout together, now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I′ll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they'll be givin′ away
When we all live together, we're talkin' ′bout together, now


Did you pay your dues?
Did you read the news
This morning when the paper landed in your yard?
Do you know their names?
Can you play their games
Without losin′ track
And coming down a bit too hard?

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I′ll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they'll be givin′ away
When we all live together, we're talkin′ 'bout together, now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I′ll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they′ll be givin' away
When we all live together, we′re talkin' ′bout together, now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I′ll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together, we′re talkin′ 'bout together, now

Maybe I′ll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I'll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they′ll be givin' away
When we all live together, together together


(Shake your hand, share the land)
You know I′ll be standing by to help you if you worry
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Now more sadness, no more sorrow, and no more bad times
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everyday comin' sunshine, everyday everybody laughin'
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Walkin′ together by the river, walkin′ together and laughin'
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody singin′ together, everybody singin' and laughin′
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Good times, good times, everybody walkin' by the river now
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Walkin′, singin', talkin', smilin′, laughin′ diggin' each other
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody happy together, I′ll be there to worry you if you need-a me
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Call on me, call on me, call my name, I'll be runnin′ to help you
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody walkin' by the river now, everyday everybody laughin′
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody singin' and talkin', smilin′, laughin′, diggin' each other
