Lay the track, build the train Count the long cross ties Bend your back, bare the pain Don't you waste no time 'Cause weary coals don't come cheap What can honor we can't Hunkered down, digging deep Deeper than the demons Cast 'em out Like bread upon the waters Cast 'em out Like the sins of all our fathers Pull the steel, hoist the beam Build the future strong Push the wheel, dream the dream Go on soldier on 'Cause miracles, they don't come cheap Working on the weak Hunkered down, digging deep Deeper than the demons Cast 'em out Like bread upon the waters Cast 'em out Like the sins of all our fathers Cast 'em out You'll be riven in the dirt You will cast 'em out For love, the highest virtue
