[Dialogue] Song has been cycling in my imagination, remember it?

[Del Morrill via Dialogue]

Can’t thank you enough for this one, which I wish to pass on to my clients and professional colleagues. Anything I need to know before I do so, like who is this guy and where is he and when was this written?

Thanks again,

Del

And a hopefully happy new year to all.

CITIZEN’S SONG

Tune: Prinz Eugen

 

Whether given high position 

Born to rank or the condition 

Of the poorest of the poor 

Whether wearing clothes of fashion 

Or old rags you couldn't cash in 

These things, these things don't endure.

 

If we work hard, gain high placement 

Or for years toil in the basement 

Or we have no work that's sure 

Even if we turn out lazy 

Damned by all the world as crazy 

These things, these things don't endure.

 

Whether gladly into battle 

We march forth, or more like cattle 

We are driven to the war 

Even if we think we're victim 

If the outcome is we've licked 'em 

These things, these things don't endure.

 

But if we build new tomorrows 

Gladly taking on the sorrows 

Which accompany the cure 

Or if all we do is chatter 

'Bout ideals that just don't matter 

These things, these things do endure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether we are implementers 

Social pioneers, inventors 

Future vision to ensure 

Or if we take the position 

That it is another's mission 

These things, these things do endure.

 

If we dare act out our passion 

For those left out and to fashion 

Ways their gifts can be assured 

Or if like a sheltered flower 

Frightened in a hole we cower 

These things, these things do endure.

 

Therefore colleagues in our caring 

Launch the journey with your daring 

With your hearts and spirits pure 

Join your hands with one another 

Every human's now your brother 

These things, these things will endure.
