The Pride of Man
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
A cabin in the pines
And spirits in the hills
When we look around
How do they feel
The cities appeared
Built out of stones
We wander the oaks
While we’re alone
We mixed our paints
With cinder and mud
Did we fight our battles
For malice or love
We built our stairs
for heaven in the sky
We always set out
As time slips by
The pride of man
The tales and deeds
The pride of man
Slipped through the trees
The pride of man
The love that we need
The pride of man
The tales and deeds
You have your reason
Stuck by your guns
We’ll ride your horses
And shine in the sun
We packed up a pipe
For stones we cast
Out on the prairies
So timeless and vast
After all the rains
The wind died down
Can you hear the whisper
Do you hear their sound
The blackberry winters
Rhythms and rhymes
Reap what you harvest
Time after time
The pride of man
The tales and deeds
The pride of man
Slipped through the trees
The pride of man
The love that we need
The pride of man
The tales and deeds
On the banks of the rivers
Hear the voices and the whispers
On the banks of the rivers
Where the clear waters shimmer
