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 now
 Whirl away now
 Whirl away
 ♪
 There's a 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 now
 Whirl away now
 Whirl away
 Whirl away now
 Whirl away now
 Whirl away now
 Whirl away
 ♪
 You can't run
 Some give of the hand
 Some give of their land
 Some giveth their life
 Laying in a field of grain
 The staff of life all around you
 But yet you, you will cut someone down
 For their possessions
 Some material thing
 And our children are being blown away
 Like wishes 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
 Said hello friend
