Barnyard Stomp Songtext
von Barry Louis Polisar

Like a nameless traveler I′ve been out wandering
Around and around on the same old road
I've danced your dances and sung your songs
Listening to the stories you have told
A banjo playing and a fiddle fiddling
One day even the soldiers will learn
Clap your hands together and shine in the moonlight
One by one you can all take a turn


Mended dreams and worn out memories
Sitting in a circle singing all day long
Dance with the evening wind, sail with the sky
Clapping and a-thumping to the tune of the song
Rainbows on the morning train and rain coming downward
Circle the sun, go around and around
Jump in the air and fly like a big bird
Walk on your hands, stand upside down

We′re all gonna sit around, sing a simple song
A laugh that's gonna last us as long as it can
Happiness runs like the rivers to the ocean
Dancing in circles and holding hands

Yeah, changes will be made and things will be different
When the rivers run clear and the air is blue
There'll be dancing in the streets, singing on the subway
Fences will fall and I′ll still love you
