Don't Look Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who will take the coal from the mines?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the leaf and grow it to a tree?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Who will work the fields with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plow?
Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Don't look now, someone's done your starving
Don't look now, someone's done your praying
Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
Don't look now, it ain't you or me
