To clearer skies and kissing gates
From books of verse and poetry,
to singing grass and raging
Seas, embroidered on the tapestry
The jury's verdict finds us guilty
Smokestack children sleep
Burdens borne by tiny hands lift fire
lights like grains of sand
The jury's verdict finds us guilty
Smokestack children sleep uneasy
Jury's verdict finds us guilty
Smokestack children sleep uneasy
their gossip talks of innocence on iron catwalks
The child is raised on factory fumes
The sirens sound late afternoon
The smokestack children die too soon
Burst on earth like toy balloons
The jury's verdict finds us guilty
Smokestack children sleep
Burdens borne by tiny hands lift
fire lights like grains of sand
The jury's verdict finds us guilty
Smokestack children sleep
Burdens borne by tiny hands lift
fire lights like grains of sand
The jury's verdict finds us guilty
Smokestack children sleep uneasy...
