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

I am the son of a grassland farmer[00:01:24]

Western oklahoma nineteen forty three[00:01:28]

I always felt grateful to live[00:01:34]

In the land of the free[00:01:38]

I gave up my father to South Korea[00:01:44]

The mind of my brother to Vietnam[00:01:49]

Now there's a banker who says[00:01:56]

I must give up my land[00:01:59]

There are four generations[00:02:05]

Of blood[00:02:07]

In this topsoil[00:02:08]

Four generations of love[00:02:10]

On this farm[00:02:13]

Before I give up[00:02:16]

I would gladly[00:02:19]

Give up my right arm[00:02:20]

What are we making weapons for[00:02:27]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:02:32]

We take it right out of the mouths[00:02:36]

Of our babies[00:02:39]

Take it away from the hands[00:02:41]

Of the poor[00:02:44]

Tell me what are[00:02:45]

We making weapons for[00:02:47]

I had a son and my son was a soldier[00:02:58]

He was so like my father[00:03:03]

He was so much like me[00:03:05]

To be a good comrade was the best[00:03:09]

That he dreamed he could be[00:03:12]

He gave up his future to revolution[00:03:18]

His life to a battle[00:03:24]

That just can't be won[00:03:26]

For this is not living to live[00:03:30]

At the point of a gun[00:03:34]

I remember the nine hundred days[00:03:39]

Of Leningrad[00:03:43]

The sound of the dying[00:03:45]

The cut of the cold[00:03:47]

I remember the moments I prayed[00:03:51]

I would never grow old[00:03:55]

What are we making weapons for[00:04:01]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:04:06]

We take it right out of the mouths[00:04:11]

Of our babies[00:04:14]

Take it away from the hands of the poor[00:04:16]

Tell me what are we making weapons for[00:04:20]

For the first time in my life[00:04:32]

I feel like a prisoner[00:04:35]

A slave to the ways of the powers[00:04:37]

That be[00:04:41]

And I fear for my children as[00:04:43]

I fear for the for the future I see[00:04:46]

Tell me how can it be[00:04:53]

We're still fighting each other[00:04:55]

What does it take[00:04:58]

For a people to learn[00:05:00]

If our song is not sung as a chorus[00:05:04]

We surely will burn[00:05:08]

What are we making weapons for[00:05:14]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:05:19]

We take it right out[00:05:24]

Of the mouths of our babies[00:05:26]

Take it away from the hands[00:05:29]

Of the poor[00:05:32]

Tell me what are[00:05:33]

We making weapons for[00:05:34]

Have we forgotten[00:05:39]

All the lives that were given[00:05:44]

All the vows that were taken[00:05:49]

Saying never again[00:05:54]

Now for the first time[00:06:00]

This could be the last time[00:06:04]

If peace is our vision[00:06:09]

Let us begin[00:06:14]

Have we forgotten[00:06:17]

All the lives that were given[00:06:21]

All the vows that were taken[00:06:26]

Saying never again never again[00:06:31]

Now for the first time[00:06:36]

This could be the last time[00:06:42]

If peace is our vision[00:06:47]

Let us begin let us begin[00:06:52]
