Lyrics
Thirty years of mornings Up before the sun Lunch box and a thermos Till the work was done Lay your tools down, friend You have earned your rest Lay your tools down, friend Rise up, you did your best Hands are worn and honest Back has carried loads Every day you showed up On the long hard road Lay your tools down, friend You have earned your rest Lay your tools down, friend Rise up, you did your best Sleep a little later Drink your tea in peace Morning still belongs to you Lay your tools down, friend You have earned your rest Lay your tools down, friend Rise up, you did your best
