Not only on the battle field
Does a boy become a man.
But in the bowels of the earth,
Depending, on the fan.
No need to be a Grenadier
Or reach a certain age.
The young lad turns into a man
As he steps into the cage. |
| |
Where, in the caverns of the blind,
He battles for the coal.
And never stops to reason why,
As he gives his heart and soul.
Facing poverty and strife,
As only poor men can.
And working side by side with death,
The boy becomes a man. |
