Heard this song with a new ear

Share The Land
by The Guess Who
written by Burton Cummings

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you been around?
Have you done your share a-coming down
Of different things that people do

Have you been aware?
You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you
In a year from now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
(Shake your hand)
Baby, I'll be there to share the land
(Share the land)
That they'll be givin' away
When we oughta live together
I'm talkin' bout together, now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
(Shake your hand)
Baby, I'll be there to share the land
(Share the land)
That they'll be givin' away
When we oughta live together
We're talkin' bout together, now

(Guitars)

Did you pay your dues?
Did you read the news
This morning when the paper landed in your yard?
Do you know their names?
Can you play their games
Without losin' track, and comin' down a bit too, hard?

Oh, maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
(Shake your hand)
Baby, I'll be there to share the land
(Share the land)
That they'll be givin' away
When we oughta live together
We're, talkin' bout together, now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
(Shake your hand)
Baby, I'll be there to share the land
That they'd be givin' away
When we oughta live together
We're talkin' bout together, now

(Guitars)

Mmm, maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
(Shake you hand)
Baby, I'll be there to share the land
(Share the land)
That they'll be givin' away
When we oughta live together
We're talkin' bout together, now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
(Shake your hand)
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
(Share the land)
That they'll be givin' away
When we oughta live together
Together, together

(Shake your hand)

You know I'll be standin' by
(Share the land)
To hold you if you worry
(Shake your hand)
No more sadness, no more sorrow
(Share the land)
And no more bad times
(Shake your hand)
Everyday comin' sunshine
(Share the land)
Everyday, everybody laughin'

(Shake your hand)
Walkin' together by the river
(Share the land)
Walkin' together and laughin'
(Shake your hand)
Everybody singin' together
(Share the land)
Everybody singin' and laughin'

(Shake your hand)
Good times, good times
(Share the land)
Everybody, walkin' by the river, now
(Shake your hand)
Walkin', singin', talkin'
(Share the land)
Smilin', laughin', diggin' each other
(Shake your hand)

Everybody happy, together
(Share the land)
I'll be there to worry if you need-a me
(Shake your hand)
Call on me, call on me
(Share the land)
Call my name, I'll be runnin' to help you

FADES-
(Shake your hand)
Everybody, walkin' by the river, now
(Share the land)
Every night, everybody laughin'
(Shake your hand)
Everybody singin' n' talkin'
(Share the land)
Smilin', laughin', diggin' each other
(Share).
