The earth came alive and the sky came falling Is my baby there? The woman I love, I can hear her calling Is my baby there? Bricks and stones no match for the bones But all we need is air To bring our brethren back to home To breathe the love we share The roadway is broken The roadway is broken today Ain't no use in trying To get from there to here Earth came alive and the sky came falling Is my baby there? I saw her holding court by the open door Is my baby there? Bricks and stones no match for the bones But all we need is air To bring our brethren back to home To breathe the love we share 'Cause the roadway is broken The roadway is broken today There ain't no use in trying to get it back Get it back to the house you lost 'Cause it's so hard The woman I love, I can hear her calling Calling through all the streets Just asking 'em now if they seen her babies They need some food to eat And I told her not to go there I told her no to go But she'd go anyway She was always like that But you see, now the roadway is broken The roadway is broken today Ain't no use in trying to get it back Get it back to the house you lost 'Cause it's so hard And we are all just hoping that she would return She was a solider 'til the day she died, oh And they can't stay all alive but she watch over them She was a solider since the day she died Since the day she died 'Cause the roadway is broken The roadway is broken today Ain't no use in trying to get it back Get it back to the house you lost 'Cause it's so hard, yeah, it's so hard
