Chorus
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken-bound kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night will bring
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure while cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken-bound kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night will bring
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure while cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
Holy Moses, our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting, some are praying
For a time where no one's cheating
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory
The dawn chorus (dawn chorus)
The singing, bells ringing
In our hearts, in our minds
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
