Текст песни Rise From The Ruins (Mark Heard) с переводом

There ain’t nobody asks to be born

There ain’t nobody wishes to die

And everybody whiles away the interim time

Sworn to rise from the ruins by and by

The engines are droning with progress

The pistons are pounding out time

And it’s you and me caught in this juggernaut jaunt

Left to rise from the ruins down the line, yeah

We will roll like an old Chevrolet

The road to ruin is something to see

Hang on to the wheel

For the highway to hell needs chauffeurs

For the powers that be

Go and tell all your friends and relations

Go and say what ain’t easy to say

Go and give them some hope

That we might rock this boat

And rise from the ruins one day

Did you ever try to carry water in a basket?

You ever try to carry fire in your hand?

Did you ever try to take on the weight of the everyday freight

'Til you find that you’re too weak to stand?

Why so pale and wan, fond lover?

Why so downcast and desperately sad?

We can walk, we can talk

We ain’t yet pillars of salt

We will rise from the ruins while we can

We will rise from the ruins while we can

Oh we will rise from the ruins while we can

Oh yeah
