🎤 Lyrics + Audio
Mmm… we work, we move, we build the dream…
The power of labour flows like a stream.
---
Labour is human effort, strong and true,
Physical or mental, in all we do.
Work for a reward, that’s the plan,
These are the features — the work of man. 🎶
---
Labour is perishable, it fades with time,
You can’t store work like goods or wine.
It’s inseparable from the one who serves,
The worker’s strength — the world deserves.
It’s mobile, can move from place to place,
In search of work, of hope, of grace.
But it’s human, it feels and stands,
It thinks, it dreams, it works with hands. 🙌🏽
---
Labour is human effort, strong and true,
Physical or mental, in all we do.
Work for a reward, that’s the plan,
These are the features — the work of man. 🎶
---
It’s different in efficiency, no two the same,
Skill and strength give each a name.
It’s an active factor, it drives the rest,
Without labour, there’s no success.
---
Labour is human effort, strong and true,
Physical or mental, in all we do.
Work for a reward, that’s the plan,
These are the features — the gift of man.
And the reward for labour wages we earn,
A fair exchange for every turn.
Money for work, skill or hand,
That’s the reward — the power of man.
