Salt of Stones - I:Scintilla

Let's drink to the hard working people Let's drink to the lowly of birth Raise your glass to the good and the evil Let's drink to the salt of the earth Say a prayer for the common foot soldier Spare a thought for his back breaking work Say a prayer for his wife and his children Who burn the fires and who still till the earth And when I search a faceless crowd A swirling mass of gray and black and white They don't look real to me In fact, they look so strange Raise your glass to the hard working people Let's drink to the uncounted heads Let's think of the wavering millions Who needs leading, but get gamblers instead Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows And a parade of the gray suited grafters A choice of cancer or polio When I look into the faceless crowd A swirling mass of grays and black and white They don't look real to me Or don't they look so strange Let's drink to the hard working people Let's think of the lowly of birth Spare a thought for the rag taggy people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the hard working people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the two thousand million Let's think of the humble of birth

Father of all things: struggle These submissive passive world Has already been destroyed Long before its consciousness Grabbed by the whispers of sorrow but of joy A tiny drop of pale light kissed the beast At the center of the labyrinth With a strange hopeless hope

An honor well-deserved That phrase reserved For the salt of the earth That only Lord knows They, ain't in magazines They, ain't all Cinema screens They're hidden from view Known by their deeds In every race or creed To a child or elderly Known by their deeds The salt of the earth The salt of the earth Hidden from view The salt of the earth The salt of the earth Hidden from view
