[Intro]
Off to a hardy party
[Verse 1]
(Ahh gosh darn…)
Going to raise barn
(Ran out of luck)
Disaster struck
[Bridge]
Off to a hardy party
[Chorus 1]
As a last resort
Here I am praising
A collective effort
Community barn raising
[Verse 2]
(Burned down in a fire)
Time to raise it higher
(No matter the weather)
We can come together
[Bridge]
Off to a hardy party
[Chorus 2]
After his forsaking
Here we are partaking
A collective effort
In the moral desert
[Bridge]
Off to a hardy party
[Outro]
After his forsaking
Here we are partaking
(Praising…) our barn raising
ABOUT THE SONG
A barn raising is a community event where neighbors come together to build a barn for someone in their community. It’s a tradition that has roots in 18th and 19th-century rural North America, where barn construction was a large undertaking that required collective effort. This song uses it as a metaphor for coming together to rebuild our nation after the Trump presidencies.
