Luke’s plea

Lyrics

Lyrics
[Verse]
Luke’s blood boils in the heat of the land
Sweat on his brow tools in his hand
Shouting at management but they don't understand
Already see his future in that white sand

[Verse]
Worked his fingers raw for the quarry’s gain
But the boss man’s deaf to the worker’s strain
Talked 'til his voice goes all in vain
Dreams of the sandpit and no more pain

[Chorus]
Hey you at the top listen to my plea
Your throne’s built on the back of guys like me
Gave my all but you’re too blind to see
A new job sounds like sweet harmony

[Verse]
Day after day it's the same old grind
Luke’s ambition keeps getting left behind
The quarry’s deaf to the truth he's trying to unwind
A new job whispers in his questioning mind

[Verse]
Management’s eyes glaze over his cries
Hard truths buried beneath corporate lies
Feels the urge to give his last goodbyes
To the quarry with its silent sky

[Chorus]
Hey you at the top listen to my plea
Your throne’s built on the back of guys like me
Gave my all but you’re too blind to see
A new job sounds like sweet harmony
