“For the Ones Coming Up” Lyrics [Lead Caller] Who are we building for? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who are we standing for? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who gets the morning? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who gets our best? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [All Men] We lay the boards straight, we fix what we can, we keep our word like a line in the hand. [Lead Caller] Who needs a door open? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who needs the truth spoken? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who needs a safe place? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who needs us steady? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [All Men] Not every road was easy, not every bridge held strong, but we can leave them better than the place we started from. [Lead Caller] Who gets the clean water? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who gets the wide sky? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who gets the real chance? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [Lead Caller] Who gets tomorrow? [Men’s Chorus] The ones coming up. [All Men, fuller harmony] So raise the roof higher, set the table wide, leave a little light on for the ones still outside. We are not finished. We are not done. We keep on building for every daughter, every son. [Lead Caller, softer] Who are we building for? [Men’s Chorus, quiet but strong] The ones coming up.
