River Glade - Ode to the Workin' Man Lyrics

He worked the fields he bent the steel setting his wheels toward a forward place
He fought the fight then saw the light reflecting upon a child's face
So now we raise our glass and finally say at last

Here's to the workin' man working with his two hands, making a better land for us to dwell
Forging a better life ultimate sacrifice, never mistaking right from wrong
And now we swell with pride as we sing this song tonight
Ode to the workin' man, ode to the workin' man

Put to the test he wouldn't rest, until he prayed on Sunday morn
When it was dark he never stopped, believing in the light of dawn
And when he was denied the harder he would try

So here's to the workin' man working with his two hands making a better land for us to dwell
Forging a better life ultimate sacrifice, never confusing right with wrong
And now we swell with pride as we sing this song tonight, ode to the workin' man

He'd seldom cry when feeling pain he'd get up off the floor
Then look out at the pouring rain and walk right through the door

So here's to the workin' man working with his two hands, building a better land for us to dwell
Forging a better life ultimate sacrifice, never confusing right with wrong
And now we swell with pride as we sing this song tonight
Lets finally give a hand, oh to the workin' man, ode to
The workin' man, ode to the workin' man, God bless the workin' man
