The earth came alive and the sky came falling,
Is my baby there?
The woman I love, I can hear her calling,
"Is my baby there?"
Bricks and stones no match for the bones but
All we need is air
To bring our brethren back to home
To breathe the love we share
The roadway is broken
The roadway is broken today
Ain't no use in trying to get from there to here
Earth came alive and the sky came falling
Is my baby there?
I saw her holding court by the open door
Is my baby there?
Bricks and stones no match for the bones but
All we need is air
To bring our brethren back to home
To breathe the love we share
Cause the roadway is broken
The roadway is broken today
There ain't no use in tryin' to get it back
Get it back to the house you lost
Cause it's so hard
The woman I love, I can hear her calling,
Calling through all the streets
Just asking 'em now if they seen her babies
They need some food to eat
And I told her not to go there
I told her no to go
But she'd go anyway
She was always like that
But you see, now the roadway is broken
The roadway is broken today
Ain't no use in trying to get it back
Get it back to the house you lost
Cause it's so hard
And we are all just hoping that she would return
She was a solider 'til the day she died, oh
And they can't stay all alive, but she watch over them
She was a solider since the day she died,
Since the day she died
Cause the roadway is broken
The roadway is broken today
Ain't no use in trying to get it back
Get it back to the house you lost
Cause it's so hard
Yeah, it's so hard
