There's a big long road leading to a ranch limousines go back and forth there   There's tiny crowd gathered by the road, and it's gaining in its numbers   They are holding hands, they are holding signs, they are joined by many others   There's a mother mourning her proud young son and she stands with friends and neighbors      Who are wondering why all these guns appear in the hands of sons and daughters   Is there anything in this whole wide world that is worth surrendering lives for   I will ask myself, have i done all i can to surrender my agenda   I will raise my voice just because I can      That's the beauty of my homeland   And I'll sing 'til all of the cows come home   To the ranch of all compassion   I'll sing 'til all of the cows come home      To the ranch of all compassion   There's a broken spoke in the mighty wheel, there's a boulder in the boot   When you walk wherever you might choose be careful of your footprints   To all parents of all brave lost souls there is nothing I can say      But I can raise my voice, we can shine a light til this darkness goes away   I will raise my voice just because I can   That's the beauty of my homeland   And I'll sing 'til all of the cows come home      To the ranch of all compassion   I'll sing 'til all of the cows come home   To the ranch of all compassion
