Crows

from Large by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

From nothing more than dirt and weed
Plough the field, sow the seed
Working ‘til our fingers bleed
A dozen hungry mouths the feed

Stones and dust and rust and bone
Will we finally reap what we have sown?
‘Cause only then we’ll eat what we have grown
In the meantime scare away those crows

CHORUS
We put our faith in God above
He’ll make it rain if we’ve been good enough
So we say our prayers and bless this earth
And praise The Lord for what it’s worth

From morning ‘til the evening comes
Bend our backs toward the sun
So little time, so much to be done (so much undone?)
The race is long but it is never won

Each day brings us no surprise
Tend the crops, watch the skies
No sign of clouds, the spirit dies
The black crows with their beady eyes

CHORUS
We put our faith in God above
He’ll make it rain if we’ve been good enough
So we say our prayers and bless this earth
And praise The Lord for what it’s worth

BRIDGE
I had a dream of getting out
Selling up and heading south
A better life I heard about
But I can’t be sure, I’m plagued by doubt

CHORUS
We put our faith in God above
He’ll make it rain if we’ve been good enough
So we say our prayers and bless this earth
And praise The Lord for what it’s worth
