David Rovics - "Lawrence"

Lyrics to Lawrence :

I stand here in Lawrence, a town that used to be a city

Filled with union women and men

Now all the mills are gone and the story seems so distant

How such a thing could happen again

A hundred years ago battles raged here

You could get shot down for speaking in the street

They sent in migrants from all across Europe

So we had 26 languages, 52 seats



(Chorus)

The fight was long and bloody

But at times it seemed that we had won

Now when I look to the horizon I still see a new dawn

But the battle has just begun



And our watchword was for men and women of all nations

To struggle together as one

So that all around the globe, wherever they may toil

A union worker could see the rising sun

Long before the mills closed down this was the center of the storm

The beacon for the way things could be

The eight-hour day, workers compensation

Health care and social security



(Chorus)



Now some would say our enemies

Are the hungry children in the mills of Mexico

But I say if the robber barons can move their business away

Then that is where the union needs to go

Cause here the mills have come and gone

And what once appeared to be foundations, turned out to be a rug

Pulled out from underneath us

Like someone turning on the lights, then pulling out the plug



Because there was a time we organized

Workers from every corner of the earth, throughout this entire nation

At that time many said it couldnt be done

But we rose to meet the situation

And now some will say it cant be done

For the labor movement to be a global fight

And those are the people who have forgotten

That the workers of the world must unite



(Chorus)
