Lyrics
There he goes he's a trader, moving on through the virgin land
He, a trader, is moving through untouched land.
Got the word from the government
Received information from the government.
That it's too late for a lowly man, to make a stand
Too late for an ordinary man to resist.
His reasons read like a prophecy
His reasons are like a foretelling.
He made them up as he went along
He created reasons on the go.
Those who saw it as a falacy are
Those who doubted it are remembered only in death.
Remembered as only dead and gone
Recognition for those who were right.
And now we all know who was right
It's now clear who was correct.
And the time showed who was wrong.
Time has revealed the wrong ones.
We saw them wield with all their might
Witnessed their strength.
I guess they knew that it wouldn't be long
They likely knew it wouldn't last.
It wouldn't be long
Emphasizing the brevity of the situation.
He's come to change all the wilderness
He aims to transform the wild.
Change the course of the rivers too
Changing the direction of rivers too.
He's not about to stop for any rest
No intention to rest.
Somebody, please say we're through
Asking for confirmation that it's over.
Here we go again and again
Repetition of a cycle.
Save your woman, you'll save the land
Saving women will save the land.
Save the children
Preserving the future through children.
They are the future hands in the promised land
Children are the future in the promised land.
They're the future hands in the promised land
Reiteration of children as the future in the promised land.
They're the future hands in the promised land
Repetition emphasizing children as the future in the promised land.
And they were left without a home
They were abandoned without a home.
Somebody left them in the cold
Someone left them in the cold.
