Cross my loaf and hope to bake
bread that’s tasty bread that’s healthy
Cross my loaf and hope to bake
Good bread for me and you
He said this bread’s not good enough
It’s just not “food” enough
for children who need to learn
Its lack of goodness is an act of rudeness to adults who need to earn
He said the ones who bake for me
deserve some dignity
They need a better life
so let’s cut those hours and improve those flours and let them seek a wife
We say Neal Thompson’s vision brought some better living for
people this side of town
So let’s keep baking lots of bread worth making for us who are here and now
