I`ve Endured — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

Born in the mountains, many years ago
Climbed these hills and valleys through the rain and snow
I`ve seen the lightning flashin`, heard the thunder roll

I`ve endured, I`ve endured, how long must one endure

Barefoot in the summer, on into the fall
Too many mouths to feed, they couldn`t clothe us all
Sent to church on Sunday to learn the golden rule

I`ve endured, I`ve endured, how long must one endure

I`ve worked for the rich, I`ve lived with the poor
I`ve seen many heartaches and I`ll see many more
I`ve lived loved and sorrowed, been through success`s door

I`ve endured, I`ve endured, how long must one endure
