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
