People Are Talking Lyrics by Louis R. Bucalo

An American Victory (Studio Cast Recording)

2016

People are talking
Stephen I ask you
Will there be any purpose for us?
Half of our battleships have been sold
And now this new man
Will sell what is left!
He pledges peace with France, Spain and England
He wears no sword at his side
Will they release us?
No sacred duty
No use for courage, honor and pride!
There is an evil sailing the waters
Innocent people dying each day
Murderous pirates hold them for ransom
Stealing our ships and demanding we pay
How can we conscience sitting in silence
Paying their bribes and demands?
I say we fight them, no more blood money
Draining our courage and staining our hands!
Stephen, please try and be calm
Only so much can be done
More friends are coming
Your brother among them
There's no need to cause them alarm
Stephen my brother, talking of battle
I want to know the where and the when
Give me a sword and I can then join you
I'll be the bravest of all of your men!
Yes, James spoken well!
All here can tell
Your words do you proud
Eyes burning with fire
Heart beating out loud
Your time is near
But not yet here
Please heed what I say
Your place is at home
You'll fight another day
I'm old enough now
I'm almost eighteen
I'll man the sails and travel afar
Well that may be true
But if I agreed
Our mother would hang us from the yardarm
Now we must wait and watch politicians
Fight with their words and their pens
But I will stand ready
I stand beside you
We'll fight for honor then!
