Whirl Away

Hello friend I've come a calling

Passively station active patrol

Sliding in high noon

Like some reluctant sheriff

Not want to get involved in it all

Who stands guard for each other

Why must we guard anything at all

Anything at all

From the earth's four corners the people are calling

Forming equations but the questions are hard

All men are brothers killing each other

And mother earth is wringing in wonder






Who stands guard for each other

Why must we guard anything at all. Anything at all

Whirl away now


Whirl away






There's cross on the road

There's a great mill turning

Some seeking answers, some are born with answers

You can hold on the blade and turn around forever

Be flung into space into another kind of grace






Who stands guard for each other

Why must we guard anything at all. Anything at all

Whirl away now


Whirl away






Some give of the hand

Some give of their land

Some giveth their life

Lying in a field of grain the staff of live all around you

Yet you will cut someone down for their possessions

Some material thing

And our children are being blown away

Like wished in the wind

For the sake of their coat

Or their colors or their code

Or the color of their skin

Or the name of their shoes

And the mother cries why'd they take my son

And the father wonders why'd they take my boy

He extended his hand he gave of his land

He gave of his bread he gave of his heart

Sail hello friend

Hello friend
