There are people on this planet
Who work hard every day,
And not for fame or fortune do they strive.
The fruits of their labor
Are worth more than their pay,
And it's time a few of them were recognized.

Hello, Telgar Smithcraft Worker,
Let me thank you for your time.
You work an endless hour turn for a living
Just to send it on down the line.
Hello, Weaver Crafthall Worker,
Let me thank you for your time.
You work an endless hour turn for a living
Just to send it on down the line.

This is for the one who swings the Hammer,
Driving home the nail.
For the one out in the Vineyard,
Bringing in the ale.
For the Herdsman, the Trader,
The one who keeps us Hale.
For everyone who fixes the Machines.

You can see them every morning
In the Kitchens, on the Roads,
In all the Holds and the far off Dragon Weyrs.
Working together
And striving on their own,
They do their best through smiles and through tears.

Hello, Fisher Crafthall Worker,
Let me thank you for your time.
You work an endless hour turn for a living
Just to send it on down the line.
Hello, Miner Crafthall Worker,
Let me thank you for your time.
You work an endless hour turn for a living
Just to send it on down the line.

This is for the one who blows the Glass.
The one who Farms the land,
For the one that maps the Heavens.
For Harper's gifted hands.
For the Tanner, the Printer,
The Baker with his pans.
For everyone who shares the Dolphin Dream.

With a spirit and a pride that you can see.
Hello to All of Pern.
Let me thank you for your time.
