1
When we were young, we pledged allegiance
2
Every morning of our lives
3
Classroom rang with children's voices
4
Under teacher's watchful eye
5
We learned about the world around us
6
At our desks and at dinnertime
7
Reminded of the starving children
8
Cleaned our plates with guilty minds
9
Stones in the road
10
We played like marbles in the dust
11
'Til a voice called for us
12
To make our way back home
13
Stones in the road
14
When I was ten, my father held me
15
On his shoulders above the crowd
16
To see a train draped in mourning
17
Pass slowly through our town
18
His widow kneeled with all their children
19
At the sacred burial ground
20
And the TV glowed that long hot summer
21
With all the cities burning down
22
Stones in the road
23
Flew out from our bicycle tires
24
Worlds removed from all those fires
25
As we raced each other home
26
Stones in the road
27
Stones
28
And now we drink our coffee on the run
29
Climb that ladder rung by rung
30
We are the daughters and the sons
31
But here's the line that's missing
32
The starving children have been replaced
33
By souls out on the street
34
We give a dollar when we pass
35
And hope our eyes don't meet
36
We pencil in, we cancel out
37
We crave the corner suite
38
We kiss your ass, we make you hold
39
We doctor the receipt
40
Stones in the road
41
Feel out from beneath our wheels
42
Another day another deal
43
Before we get back home
44
Stones in the road
45
Leave a mark from whence they came
46
A thousand points of light or shame
47
Baby, I don't know
48
Stones in the road
49
Stones in the road
