Driving the Last Spike Genesis

[Part I]

[Verse 1]
Leaving my family behind me
Not knowing what lay ahead
Waving goodbye, as I left them in tears
Remembering all we'd said
I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
I asked Him for guidance and strength
But the simple beliefs of a simple man
Lay in His hands, and on my head, my head

[Verse 2]
I gave everything that they wanted
But still they wanted more
We sweat and we toiled, good men lost their lives
I don't think they knew what for
I sold them my heart, I sold them my soul
I gave everything I had
Ah, but they couldn't break my spirit
My dignity fought back, fight back
Just fight back

[Chorus]
Ah, can you hear me?
Can you see?
Don't you hear me?
Don't you see?
