Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)[00:00:00]

Written by：John Denver[00:00:03]

I am the son of a grassland farmer[00:00:12]

Western Oklahoma nineteen forty three[00:00:17]

I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free[00:00:23]

I gave up my father to South Korea[00:00:33]

The mind of my brother to Vietnam[00:00:38]

Now there's a banker who says I must give up my land[00:00:44]

There are four generations of blood in this topsoil[00:00:53]

Four generations of love on this farm[00:00:59]

Before I give up I would gladly give up my right arm[00:01:04]

What are we making weapons for[00:01:15]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:01:19]

We take it right out of the mouths of our babies[00:01:24]

Take it away from the hands of the poor[00:01:29]

Tell me what are we making weapons for[00:01:33]

I had a son and my son was a soldier[00:01:46]

He was so like my father he was so much like me[00:01:50]

To be a good comrade was the best[00:01:56]

That he dreamed he could be[00:02:00]

He gave up his future to revolution[00:02:06]

His life to a battle that just can't be won[00:02:11]

For this is not living to live at the point of a gun[00:02:17]

I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad[00:02:26]

The sound of the dying the cut of the cold[00:02:32]

I remember the moments I prayed I would never grow old[00:02:38]

What are we making weapons for[00:02:48]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:02:53]

We take it right out of the mouths of our babies[00:02:57]

Take it away from the hands of the poor[00:03:03]

Tell me what are we making weapons for[00:03:07]

For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner[00:03:18]

A slave to the ways of the powers that be[00:03:23]

And I fear for my children[00:03:29]

As I fear for the future I see[00:03:32]

Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other[00:03:39]

What does it take for a people to learn[00:03:44]

If our song is not sung as a chorus we surely will burn[00:03:50]

What are we making weapons for[00:04:00]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:04:05]

We take it right out of the mouths of our babies[00:04:10]

Take it away from the hands of the poor[00:04:15]

Tell me what are we making weapons for[00:04:19]

Have we forgotten[00:04:25]

All the lives that were given[00:04:30]

All the vows that were taken[00:04:35]

Saying never again[00:04:39]

Now for the first time[00:04:45]

This could be the last time[00:04:49]

If peace is our vision[00:04:54]

Let us begin[00:05:00]

Have we forgotten[00:05:02]

All the lives that were given[00:05:06]

All the vows that were taken[00:05:11]

Saying never again never again[00:05:16]

Now for the first time[00:05:21]

This could be the last time[00:05:26]

If peace is our vision[00:05:32]

Let us begin let us begin[00:05:37]
