Blair Mountain
Words and Music by Paul Epstein, founder of AWARE
Tell me what is a mountain
When it’s blasted flat?
What is a valley when it’s been filled?
What is a stream when it’s covered with rock?
A forest where the trees have been killed?
In West Virginia is a mountain
Where miners took a stand
Fighting for the right to unionize
Now the unions are gone and the hungry machines
Want Blair Mountain to give up its prize
Who’s going to stand up and save our mountains?
Who’s going to stand for the streams?
Who’s going to stand for the lives of the people
Against the power of the Machine?
In West Virginia once were mountains, forests and streams,
Mountaineers who thought they were free,
But they sold their souls to the company store
To keep the lights on in Washington D.C.
Who’s going to stand up and save our mountains?
Who’s going to stand for the streams?
Who’s going to stand for the lives of the people
Against the power of the Machine?
