Eight March

First you found them in certain places
Along the river down in the valley
Atop the ridge sentry to the dawn

"Peace, Land and Bread"
Eight marched out on the 23rd of February
In certain places they still keep time that way as well

And there policies divided and walls thrown up
We celebrate our own holidays
Eight leave everything behind

And here policies divided and walls thrown up
Celebrate each others holidays?
Eight arrive home after a long day

How would a world appear 
Who could have the time?
Eight comfort a love one

We could not live the same way
Can we live this way?
Eight comfort a stranger along the road

We would need to design for sustainability
Could we live a holiday everyday?
Eight smile right now Eight cook Eight kill

Now you are found in every place
Someday we will celebrate each others holidays

Eight marched out and Eight more marched out
Not here a celebration just of February 23rd
But one for everyday

Equality where sustainability begins
Oh that it would come
