Leaving my family behind me Not knowing what lay ahead Waving goodbye as I left 'em in tears Remembering all we'd saidI looked to the sky, I offered my prayers I asked Him for guidance and strength But the simple beliefs of a simple man Lay in His hands and on my head, my headI gave everything that they wanted But still they wanted more We sweat and we toiled Good men lost their lives Don't think they knew what forI sold them my heart, I sold them my soul I gave everything I had Oh, but they couldn't break my spirit My dignity fought back, fight backCan you hear me? Can you see? Don't you hear me? Don't you see?We worked in gangs for all we were worth The young boys pullin' the wagons We were diggin' the tunnels, shiftin' the earth It was then that it happenedWell, no one knew how the cracks appeared But as it fell they all disappeared Stone fell like rainCan you hear me? Can you see? Don't you hear me? Can you breathe? (Can you breathe?)The smoke cleared, the dust it settled No one knew how many had died All around there were broken men They'd said, it was safe, they'd liedYou could hear the cries, you could smell the fear But good fortune that day was mine And it occurred to me the heart of a good man It seems is hard to findCan you hear me? Can you see? Don't you hear me? Don't you see?We worked, how we worked Like the devil for our pay Through the wind, through the snow And through the rainBlasting and cutting Through God's country like a knife Sweat stingin' my eyes There has to be a better lifeOh, but I can hear my children's cry And I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those I've left behind Still ringin' in my earsWill I ever go back again? Will I ever see her face again? Oh, I'll never forget that night As they waved goodbye to their fathersWe came from the North, well, we came from the South With picks and with spades and a new kind of order Showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us againDriving the last spike Liftin' and layin' the track With blistering hands The sun's burnin' your backOh, but I can hear my children's cry I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those I've left behind Still ringin' in my earsWell, I'll always remember that night As they waved goodbye to their fathersWe followed the rail, we slept under the stars Digging in darkness and living with danger Showin' no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us againCan you hear me? Can you see? Don't you hear me? Don't you see? (Don't you hear me? Don't you see?)
