We Used To Stand So Tall - Simone White (西蒙怀特)

Hush now darling my mama said

You're daddy's worried 'bout the Reds

One day you'll learn about the enemy

You have to fight so you'll be free

Another day will dawn

Our country will be strong

God knows we can't go wrong

Be good darling do as we say

One day you'll learn to work for pay

And you will understand that we are poor

You must work hard so you'll have more

Another day will dawn

You will grow up so strong

We know you will belong

Listen father there is no work

It seems that no one sees my worth

I have no money to pay my rent

I cannot pay back what was lent

Listen mother I lost my man

He was shot down in a foreign land

The captain cannot say what he died for

They only tell me we're at war

Another time will come

You'll see what we have done

I only hope we may be forgiven

Another rain will fall and wash away us all

We used to stand so tall
