PRZEMYSŁOWY

„Ołowiane niebo”

Ślązacy ciężko pracują,tu domy swoje budują.

W głębi tej śląskiej ziemiwśród węgla i kamienifedrują ciężko górnicy,

a tam na górze ponad ich głowami –przy piecach stoją hutnicy.

Serca ich biją równym rytmem i są gorące,zmarszczone przedwcześnie twarze

i spracowane ręce –to wszystko co dostali

do losu w podzięce.
