You stay here and I'll go look for wood
Do not fear, I'll be back soon enough
Do not let the fire die
Neither let it burn too bright

You stay here and I'll go look for bread
And if I can some sugar for the kids
Dry your eyes, I'll be alright
I know where they've laid the mines

You stay here and I'll go look for coats
There may still be some out on the road
We'll wash them clean with melted snow
The kids don't ever have to know

You stay here and I'll go look for guns
I think I know where they've hidden some
'Cause if the tiger comes one night
We won't go without a fight

You stay here and I'll go look for god
Not so hard 'cause I know where he's not
I will bring him back with me
Make him listen, make him see

You stay here and I'll go look for wood
