When workers leave their homes to graft
by muscle or by brain
The least they need is safety from
the dangers and the strain
So those who wave their loved ones off
can wave them home again
Flowers will lie beside the line
where working people fell
For those who keep our railways safe –
they must be safe as well
Our industries must tend their staff
and spare their folks this pain
So people who go out to work
can come back home again
