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[00:00:10]

Western oklahoma nineteen forty three[00:00:15]

I always felt grateful to live[00:00:20]

In the land of the free[00:00:24]

I gave up my father to South Korea[00:00:30]

The mind of my brother to Vietnam[00:00:35]

Now there's a banker who says[00:00:41]

I must give up my land[00:00:44]

There are four generations[00:00:50]

Of blood[00:00:53]

In this topsoil[00:00:54]

Four generations of love[00:00:56]

On this farm[00:00:59]

Before I give up[00:01:02]

I would gladly[00:01:04]

Give up my right arm[00:01:05]

What are we making weapons for[00:01:12]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:01:17]

We take it right out of the mouths[00:01:22]

Of our babies[00:01:25]

Take it away from the hands[00:01:27]

Of the poor[00:01:29]

Tell me what are[00:01:31]

We making weapons for[00:01:32]

I had a son and my son was a soldier[00:01:43]

He was so like my father[00:01:48]

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

To be a good comrade was the best[00:01:54]

That he dreamed he could be[00:01:57]

He gave up his future to revolution[00:02:04]

His life to a battle[00:02:09]

That just can't be won[00:02:11]

For this is not living to live[00:02:15]

At the point of a gun[00:02:18]

I remember the nine hundred days[00:02:24]

Of Leningrad[00:02:28]

The sound of the dying[00:02:30]

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

I remember the moments I prayed[00:02:36]

I would never grow old[00:02:39]

What are we making weapons for[00:02:46]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:02:51]

We take it right out of the mouths[00:02:55]

Of our babies[00:02:58]

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

Tell me what are we making weapons for[00:03:04]

For the first time in my life[00:03:16]

I feel like a prisoner[00:03:19]

A slave to the ways of the powers[00:03:21]

That be[00:03:24]

And I fear for my children as[00:03:27]

I fear for the for the future I see[00:03:30]

Tell me how can it be[00:03:36]

We're still fighting each other[00:03:39]

What does it take[00:03:42]

For a people to learn[00:03:43]

If our song is not sung as a chorus[00:03:47]

We surely will burn[00:03:51]

What are we making weapons for[00:03:58]

Why keep on feeding the war machine[00:04:03]

We take it right out[00:04:07]

Of the mouths of our babies[00:04:09]

Take it away from the hands[00:04:12]

Of the poor[00:04:15]

Tell me what are[00:04:16]

We making weapons for[00:04:18]

Have we forgotten[00:04:23]

All the lives that were given[00:04:27]

All the vows that were taken[00:04:32]

Saying never again[00:04:37]

Now for the first time[00:04:42]

This could be the last time[00:04:47]

If peace is our vision[00:04:52]

Let us begin[00:04:57]

Have we forgotten[00:05:00]

All the lives that were given[00:05:04]

All the vows that were taken[00:05:09]

Saying never again never again[00:05:14]

Now for the first time[00:05:19]

This could be the last time[00:05:24]

If peace is our vision[00:05:29]

Let us begin let us begin[00:05:35]
