about

A song about moving from the city to the country.

lyrics

Well the cracks in my hands, like the cracks in the land,
tell the story of living, you won't understand,
till you've planted your dreams with the woman who stands
by your side.
It's not in the schools, yeah it's taught with the tools,
and the worth of a day is in the work that you do.
Rise with the sun everyday. It's winding it's way through the sky.

When you're living by the stone and the kettle over the fire.
With our bones we settled our homes and together we get by.
And everybody pulls their weight.

It starts with a seed, you raise what you need, and if the rain doesn't come, you've got to believe.
Cause it could come any day and wash you away just as easy.
But when the harvest is good, you've done what you could, it's a gift you've been given, that's understood.
You've got to give it away, cause that's how you're going to keep it.

When you're living by the stone and the kettle over the fire.
With our bones we settled our homes and together we get by.
And everybody pulls their weight.
