We scrubbed it down
From the roof to the floor
Took out the trash
Till there was no more
Built it strong
A place to stand tall
But they tore it down
Let the dirt fall
Took what we made
Left it in dust
Breaking the ground
We worked to trust
A home for all
Where hope could grow
Now it's back to cleaning
What they let go
Taking out the trash
Cleaning it again
Rolling up our sleeves
Till the very end
Taking out the trash
Making it right
So tomorrow's bright
In morning light
Taking out the trash
Cleaning it again
Rolling up our sleeves
Till the very end
Taking out the trash
Making it right
So tomorrow's bright
In morning light
They came in hard
With a vicious hand
Made a mess, blamed it
On the Man
Opened the doors, let
Chaos in
Turned what we built
To a house of sin
We're taking the trash
Out again, no fear
Making it safe for those
Who draw near
Sweeping out the lies
Bringing back the truth
To make it clean for the
Next one's youth
Taking out the trash
Cleaning it again
Rolling up our sleeves
Till the very end
Taking out the trash
Making it right
So tomorrow's bright
In morning light
Stacking up walls with
Honest hands
Bringing it back to
Where it stands
Piece by piece
Brick by brick
Pushing out the stains
They left so thick
We've been here before
We'll be here again
Cleaning up the mess
They left within
This ground is ours
This dream won't die
We'll sweep the streets
Till the stars align
Taking out the trash
Cleaning it again
Rolling up our sleeves
Rill the very end
Taking out the trash
Making it right
So tomorrow's bright
In morning light
Taking the trash out
Once again
We'll guard this place
From now till then
Taking out the trash
Watch it go
To leave a land that's
Clean and whole
Taking the trash out
Once again
We'll guard this place
From now till then
Taking out the trash
Watch it go
To leave a land that's
Clean and whole.
