lyrics

TWO RIDERS IN THE RAIN

Last night I had that dream again:
Two riders in the rain,
And the long line of men and guns
Moving through the Wilderness.
And what it meant I can but guess:
Could you and I one day be
On the wrong side of history
Like Jackson & Lee,
Two riders in the rain?

But I never dream of 12-hour days
In sweatshops far away
Or distant fields where our food is grown,
-Coffee rice and sugarcane,
So could I too be much the same
And all our freedoms only be
At the price of another's slavery
Like Jackson & Lee,
Two riders in the rain?

Comrades in fate,
They saw their purpose so great
But were blindfolded straight
Defending, when all is said and done,
The right to do wrong.

Last night I saw them once again.
It's every night the same:
The endless line of men and guns,
The voice unheard in the wilderness.
And how shall we pass the test
When all we were or failed to be
Is written down in history
With Jackson & Lee,
Two riders in the rain?
