Lay the track, build the train
Count the long cross ties
Bend your back, bare the pain
Don't you waste no time
'Cause weary coals don't come cheap
What can honor we can't
Hunkered down, digging deep
Deeper than the demons
Cast 'em out
Like bread upon the waters
Cast 'em out
Like the sins of all our fathers
Pull the steel, hoist the beam
Build the future strong
Push the wheel, dream the dream
Go on soldier on
'Cause miracles, they don't come cheap
Working on the weak
Hunkered down, digging deep
Deeper than the demons
Cast 'em out
Like bread upon the waters
Cast 'em out
Like the sins of all our fathers
Cast 'em out
You'll be riven in the dirt
You will cast 'em out
For love, the highest virtue
