[Oe List ...] Salmon Local Man Shall Rise Again

[Bill Salmon]

LOCAL MAN SHALL RISE AGAIN
Tune: Country Roads

Born in plenty, raised up blind
All turned hollow, something there was wrong.
Human suffering over all the world---
Three billion people and never live.

Refrain:
All the earth belongs to all
That's the vision and the call
Local Man shall rise again
    To build the earth, the common earth.

Joined the rebels, lost the past,
Saw destruction, nothing really changed.
Human suffering over all the world---
Three billion people die and never live.

Then a stranger, love by none
All was gone, every hope had died.
Human suffering over all the world---
Three billion people die and never live.

At the center, awful calm,
Born of spirit, then my life was gone.
Human suffering over all the world--
Three billion people die and never live.

>From the center we shall stand, 
In every nation throughout every land.
Building patterns to release the new
Dying daily that the new may live.

  I was talking with my parents about this thread over lunch today.  Wasn't there another song about "All the Earth Belongs to All" ... to the tune of "Country Roads?"  I only seem to remember two lines from the chorus: "All the Earth Belongs to All; That's the Vision and the Call" (maybe that's not even right) ... then I start singing the original ... "West Virginia, Mountain Mama ..."  Anyone else remember this one?
