Some people hungry for a green-backed bill Some folks hunger for the top of the hill Some people just trying to get a decent meal But I know that we can can turn it around Some people sleeping in a fine feather bed Some folks are dreaming of the old homestead Some just need a place to lay their head But I know that we can can turn it around I know that we can turn it around If there's one thing that I found There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn I know that we can turn it around River bottom up to home on high End of the line or the endless sky Jet setting or just getting by I know that we can turn it around I know that we can turn it around If there's one thing that I found There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn I know that we can turn it around From the Ninth Ward up to Pettycoat lane One man's joy has been another man's pain But the sun keeps shining through the driving rain And I know that we can turn it around I know that we can turn it around If there's one thing that I found There's a voice in the din singing a working man's hymn I know that we can turn it around
