Lyrics
Life is trouble. Life is pain
But we can't go back again.
Keep your hand on that plough - hold on
Hold on! Hold on!
Keep your hands on that plough - hold on
Generations strained and strived
Take their place or step aside
Keep your hands on that plough - hold on
They were weary, they were sad
But they pushed with all they had
Keep your hands on that plough - hold on
Hold on! Hold on!
Keep your hands on that plough - hold on
Be a hero every day
Because there is no other way
Keep your hands on that plough - hold on
Hold on! Hold on!
Keep your hands on that plough - hold on
