Empire

In national elections In songs raised on high With stirring emotions As tears fill your eyes In democratic fever For national defense I am a mountain I am a mountain I am a mountain Like birds upon a fence Like birds upon a fence Young artists and writers Please heed the call What's good for business Is good for us all And as it is in Nature So it is in life The weak among us with perish The weak among us with perish The weak among us with perish The strong alone will survive The strong alone will survive Voices like thunder Decisions like steel The past and the future They belong to us all From every mountain The water and the air The world that we've created The world that we've created The world that we've created By working hand in hand By working hand in hand --- Empire - David Byrne
