Lend A Hand To The Farmers Lyrics

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Put the power of production back in their hands
Lend a hand to the farmers in this time
The very future of the nation is on the line

Think of all these families
Being forced off their land
The small farmer is a chess piece
Being pushed by corporate hands

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand, lend a hand
Put the power of production back in their hands
Lend a hand to the farmers in this time, lend a hand, lend a hand
The very future of the nation is on the line

Can't you see that
To have a healthy nation
Good food is what we need
But without the cultivators
Whose gonna plant the seeds

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand to the farmers on this land
Let's put the power of production back in their hands
Put the power of production back in their hands.

Can't you see
A bunch of rusted tractors
Thousands of idle hands
A nation raised on junk food
Millions of acres of wasted land

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand, lend a hand
Put the power of production back in their hands

Lend a hand to the farmers in this time
The very future of the nation is on the line

Lend a hand to the farmers
Let's lend a hand to the farmers
Put the power of production back in their hands

Let's lend a hand, let's lend a hand to the farmers

{RAPPED}

At one time we had more than 8 million small family farmers on the land in this country.
Now we're down to less than 2 million
Loosing 300-500 every week.

The backbone of this country is the farmer
We're loosing our farmers
We're loosing the bottom rung on the economic ladder
If we don't help our farmers we will go hungry

Lend a hand to the farmers and you are lending a hand to yourself.

Lend a hand to the farmers.
Put the power of production back into their hands

Lend a hand to the farmers
The future of the nation is on the line

Lend a hand to the farmers.

USA Hemp Museum statement

One of the many things the great Willie Nelson is known for is his campaign to restore hemp to the world. This song, LEND A HAND TO THE FARMERS is a powerful plea for salvation from the dynamic artists Willie Nelson and Marty Dread posted on the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute site.

Hemp can help us save our family farm system, key to saving ourselves. This trillion dollar plus cash crop can finance what needs to be done to restore the foundation of our economy, the farmer. As Richard M. Davis, founder of the USA Hemp Museum, says, know your grower. Otherwise we have the toxic chemicals added for profit, like what's happening NOW!!!

Ending hemp prohibition so farmers can have a quick cash crop to solve their economic problems can help heal our whole economy with jobs, business and investment opportunities. Since the federal government owns about 1/3 of America, much of this land can be leased at a reasonable rate to jump start this vital energy in our economic system.

Please support Farm Aid and ending hemp prohibition so that we can save ourselves. For more ideas visit the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute founded by Willie Nelson, Jay Greathouse and Liz O'Garvey. The work being done there is extraordinarily healing. For more on hemp visit the USA Hemp Museum.

Thank you Liz for this opportunity to focus the message over such great music and lyrics.

We believe this one change, ending hemp prohibition, can make the whole world better, empowering local economies, restoring the environment and personal health.

We are overcoming now!

[TerrierBram]

Plant seeds as much you can. Balcony, garden, whatever place. It give you health, food and good feeling. Plants are divine angels.

If I look with street view in America, I see many places where people can plant something to eat, to smoke, to use as a medicine. Plants provide healthy freedom.

[cureworks]

Griot TerrierBram: You as so right about plenty of places in America (and the rest of the world) for folks to grow hemp.

Hemped freedom is the way to go.

[OnlyHempFuture]

Save the Farms and you will save the world ... Grow Hemp and you will save the Future ..

OneLove ~JB

[TerrierBram]

Well, I like all plants. Grow green angels. Grow.

[selasielove]

the problem with prohibition is that it leaves no room for selfdiscipline and robes us of our human dignity, change we must or we wont last; lend a hand to the farmer, help to restore our health and very wealth.
