_the factory in a garden

Put your tools down
Put your tools down
We won't be long
We won't be long

16,000 people gathering in deep respect
Everyone a testament of the life he'd given them
For he built their houses
Planted each a garden
Gave them back their dignity
Taught their children literacy
16,000 people given opportunity
Rescued from obscurity
Lifted out of poverty
Treated individually
Not as a commodity
Room to stretch and spread their wings
Not caged in as battery hens
