Big Big Train - Folklore lyrics

Let us begin where it all began Fireside flickering flames Make the shadows dance Heigh-ho so we go we pa** it on We hand it down-o We tell our tales, we sing our songs While we have breath left in our lungs Heigh-ho so we go we pa** it on We hand it down-o We pa** it on down To the young from the old We feel it deep down in the soul Heigh-ho so we go we pa** it on We hand it down-o Sometimes truth hides beside the lies Grist to the mill, fuel to our fire Heigh-ho so we go we pa** it on We hand it down-o For it is said, so it lives on We pa** it down, it carries on Oh down we go into folklore The pen is mightier than the sword The music of the word is scored Heigh-ho so we go we pa** it on We hand it down-o Our satellites they span the globe Lo our stories shall be told Heigh-ho so we go we pa** it on We hand it down-o For it is said, so it lives on We pa** it down, it carries on Oh down we go into folklore I am a messenger: I speak With integrity, truth, love and light For it is said, so it lives on And when we're gone, we carry on Oh down we go into folklore
