Empire
DAVID BYRNE
In national elections
In songs raised on high
With stirring emotions
As tears fill your eyes
In democratic fever
For national defense
I am a mountain
I am a mountain
I am a mountain
Like birds upon a fence
Like birds upon a fence
Young artists and writers
Please heed the call
What's good for business
Is good for us all
And as it is in Nature
So it is in life
The weak among us with perish
The weak among us with perish
The weak among us with perish
The strong alone will survive
The strong alone will survive
Voices like thunder
Decisions like steel
The past and the future
They belong to us all
From every mountain
The water and the air
The world that we've created
The world that we've created
The world that we've created
By working hand in hand
By working hand in hand
