Bethlehem Steel

There was a light blue as a welder's torch It used to shine over the fields And all the wise men strong men were drawn for miles Followed a star to bethlehem steel Our mother's father worked here in world war two On the main floor operating the drill And in his open palms little splinters remind him of The booming days days of bethlehem steel But the steeples on the hills they point To a better life beyond this one And that promise penetrates the clouds And mighty walls of brick red cinnamon Ah ah Take a walk past lazarus moving n' storage Behind the goodman's furniture store See the smoke stacks rise on up to heaven's step While on earth we're burnin' this miracle iron ore But the steeples on the hills they point To a better life beyond this one And that promise penetrates the clouds Even when they block the fiery sun The sun There was a light blue as a welder's torch It used to shine over the fields And all of the wise men strong men were drawn for miles Followed a star to bethlehem steel Bethlehem steel Bethlehem steel Bethlehem steel Bethlehem steel Yeah steel Yeah steel Bethlehem steel Ah steel Bethlehem steel Bethlehem steel Yeah steel Steel Yeah steel [a scrap of a phrase - spoken] Oh steel Ah steel
