Hello friend, I've come a callin'   Passively stationed, active patrol   Slidin' in at high noon like some reluctant sheriff   Not wanna get involved in it all      Who stands guard for each other?   Why must we guard anything at all?   Anything at all      From the earth's four corners the people are calling   Forming equations but the questions are hard   All men are brothers, killing each other   And Mother Earth is wringing in wonder      Who stands guard for each other?   Oh, why must we guard anything at all?   Anything at all      Whirl away now   Whirl away now   Whirl away now   Whirl away      There's a cross on the road, there's a great mill turnin'   Some seeking answers, some born to dancers   You can hold on the blade and turn around forever   Be flung into space into another kind of grace      Who stands guard for each other?   Oh, why must we guard anything at all?   Anything at all      Whirl away now   Whirl away now   Whirl away now   Whirl away      Whirl away now   Whirl away now   Whirl away now   Whirl away      Give [Incomprehensible]   Some giveth their hand   Some giveth their land   Some giveth their life      You lay in the fields of grain, the staff of life all around you   But yet you, you will cut someone down   For their possessions, some material thing   And our children they're being blown away like wishes in the wind      For the sake of their coat   Or the colors of their coat   Or the color of their skin   Or the name on their shoes      And the mother cries   "Why they taken my son?"   And the father wonders   "Are they taking my boy?"      He extended his hand   He gave them his land   He gave them his bread   He gave them his heart      Said, "Hello friend"   Hello friend   Hello friend   Hello friend
