Residents – The New Hymn Lyrics

Let our children live in a holey land...

We have left our lives, we have left our land,
We have left behind all we understand,
Now we must cry out, yes we must demand --

Let our children live in a land that's low,
Where the holes are deeper than light can go;
Let them not have pride but instead a soul
That can see the shame of the hands that glow.
