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. End Lyrics 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.
