ROADS, by                    
First Line: Where are the songs that will bind us as
Last Line: New roads of peace for the oncoming race.
Subject(s): Labor & Laborers; Roads; Stones; Work; Workers; Paths; Trails; Granite; Rocks


Where are the songs that will bind us as neighbors?
What is the rhythm to quicken our feet?
Shall we have courage to bend to our labors
Till the great highways of peace are complete?

Sing of the roads where we lay the foundations!
Stone after stone must be dragged into place.
Highways of hope for the desperate nations.
New roads of peace for the oncoming race.
