Foundation

chorus:
Desperate son and wind that calls
they're not our creation
we've got to tear down these walls
and build a new foundation
Factories and shopping malls
are weak legs for a nation
we've got to tear down these walls
and build a new foundation

verse 1:
Westward Ho!
See the indians and open land
Westward Ho!
farm the people kill the sand
Eureka
Strip the mountains, gut the streams
Eureka
Covered wagons, and dungarees

verse 2:
Westward Ho!
Take a picture, write a book
Westward Ho!
Take your family, take a look
Eureka
Tune the banjo, dance and sing
Eureka
Pan for love and forge a ring

Westward Ho!
Westward Ho!
Westward Ho!
Westward Ho!
