Lyrics:

This used to be a sugar town
The beet was drawn from all around
They came and put their money down
This used to be a sugar town
This used to be a thriving place
Full time work, semi-state
Trucks and tractors coming late
Wagons at the railway gates
But the kids have dreams
Brand new dreams
They're in control of a bright
New future
The kids have dreams
Oh the kids have dreams
This used to help to keep me sane
Walking down there in the rain
In the darkness of a beet campaign
This used to help keep me sane
This used to put my mind at ease
Sweet Molasses
In the breeze
But the kids have dreams......

Sugar town , hanging around
I see them in the morning going
Out to school
Laughing and joking , playing the Fool
They've never known what it's like
To be down
Living in a sugar town
But the kids have dreams.......
