We Do The Work

July 28, 2016 By Faith Naoi

WE DO THE WORK

We plant the food
We drive the cab
We load the ship
We run the lab

We build the bridges
We fly the plane
We do the work
This is our day

We do the work
We do the work
We do the work
This is our day

We type the page
We clean the streets
We sew the clothes
We change the sheets

We sell the goods
We lay the stone,
We do the work
This is our home

We do the work
We do the work
We do the work
This is our home

We dig the ditch
We serve the meal
We give the care
We mold the steel

We teach the kids
We lend a hand
We do the work
This is our land

We do the work
We do the work
We do the work
This is our land
