<pre><font size='+2'>THE MINES OF MOZAMBIQUE lyrics BRUCE COCKBURN</font><br>There`s a broad river winding<br />
through this African lowland<br />
The moon is held up orange and big<br />
See it raise its hand<br />
And the last ferry`s pulling out<br />
with no place left to stand<br />
for the mines of Mozambique<br />
<br />
There`s a wealth of amputation<br />
waiting in the ground<br />
But no one can remember<br />
where they put it down<br />
If you`re the child that finds it there<br />
You will rise upon the sound<br />
of the mines of Mozambique<br />
<br />
Some men rob the passersby<br />
for a bit of cash to spend<br />
Some men rob whole countries dry<br />
and still get called their friend<br />
And under the feeding frenzy<br />
There`s a wound that will not mend<br />
in the mines of Mozambique<br />
<br />
(Bridge)<br />
<br />
Night, like peace, is a state of suspension. Tomorrow the heat will <br />
rise and mist will hide the marshy fields, the mango and the cashew <br />
trees, which only now they`re clearing brush from under. Rusted husks <br />
of blown up trucks line the roadway north of town, like passing <br />
through a sculpture gallery. War is the artist, but he`s sleeping now. <br />
And somebody will be peddling vials of penicillin stolen out of all <br />
the medical kits sent to the countryside. And in the bare workshop <br />
they`ll be molding plastic into little prosthetic legs for the <br />
children of this artist and for those who farm the soil that received <br />
his bitter seed.<br />
<br />
The all night stragglers stagger home<br />
Cocks begin to crow<br />
And singing birds are starting up<br />
telling what they know<br />
And after awhile the sun will come<br />
and we`ll see what it will show<br />
of the mines of Mozambique<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_mines_of_mozambique_lyrics-bruce_cockburn.html" target='_blank'>THE MINES OF MOZAMBIQUE lyrics BRUCE COCKBURN</a></pre>

There`s a broad river winding
through this African lowland
The moon is held up orange and big
See it raise its hand
And the last ferry`s pulling out
with no place left to stand
for the mines of Mozambique

There`s a wealth of amputation
waiting in the ground
But no one can remember
where they put it down
If you`re the child that finds it there
You will rise upon the sound
of the mines of Mozambique

Some men rob the passersby
for a bit of cash to spend
Some men rob whole countries dry
and still get called their friend
And under the feeding frenzy
There`s a wound that will not mend
in the mines of Mozambique

(Bridge)

Night, like peace, is a state of suspension. Tomorrow the heat will
rise and mist will hide the marshy fields, the mango and the cashew
trees, which only now they`re clearing brush from under. Rusted husks
of blown up trucks line the roadway north of town, like passing
through a sculpture gallery. War is the artist, but he`s sleeping now.
And somebody will be peddling vials of penicillin stolen out of all
the medical kits sent to the countryside. And in the bare workshop
they`ll be molding plastic into little prosthetic legs for the
children of this artist and for those who farm the soil that received
his bitter seed.

The all night stragglers stagger home
Cocks begin to crow
And singing birds are starting up
telling what they know
And after awhile the sun will come
and we`ll see what it will show
of the mines of Mozambique
