A Union Man

Who is that person standing way over there Though I don't know him, for me and others he does care, He worries about me when I am ever on the job And he fights for me, so the company can't or won't rob. If ever I am in trouble I can always give him a call He will always stand beside me to always stand tall, And I can call him anytime, either day or night For me at my side, he will always be there to protect and fight. Because of him I always get a good pay And because of him I feel safe on the job everyday, Whatever I need for my well being or safety he always gets And because of him, I receive and I have great benefits. Because of him I will always get paid my overtime And when I'm working on the sabbath I will get an extra dime, And yearly I get a paid vacation as well He has done me and others good from what I can tell. Decades from now, one day I will finally and happily retire Him and others like him I will still proudly admire, Because of him I will still have my benefits and now a pension In thanks unto him and others I continually praise and give mention. He doesn't worry about a person's belief or of their gender From their side he will never desert or will ever surrender, He doesn't care if you're black, white, red, yellow or tan Because, he is a union man.
