Who will take the coal from the mine?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take a leaf
And grow it to a tree?
Don't look now
It ain't you or me
Who will work the field with his hands?
Who will put his back to the plough?
Who'll take the mountain
And give it to the sea?
Don't look now
It ain't you or me
Don't look now
Someone's done your starving
Don't look now
Someone's done your praying too
Who will make the shoes for your feet?
Who will make the clothes that you wear?
Who'll take the promise
That you don't have to keep?
Don't look now
It ain't you or me
Well, don't look now
Someone's done your starving
Don't look now
Someone's done your praying too
Who will take the coal from the mines?
Who will take the salt from the earth?
Who'll take the promise
That you don't have to keep?
Don't look now
It ain't you or me
