I've seen rivers red with blood,
I've seen valleys filled with mud;
I've seen stormy seas that pound upon the shore.
I've seen mountains strewn with bones,
I've seen people without homes,
And it's all with the passing of my life.

I've seen highways headin' down,
I've seen green grass turn to brown;
I've seen forests burn a couple days or more.
I've seen prairies filled with holes,
I've seen good men sell their souls,
And it's all with the passing of my life.
