lyrics

I've got my seeds
I've got my fallow field
The sun above me shines
The promise of a yield

I've got my plow
Daylight gleams off the steel
It's got the blades to turn this earth
But it ain't got no wheels

I've got fields I need to plow
I've got secrets underneath
My task lies before me
and my limbs cannot afford relief
Oh I've gotta get down on my knees

This land is wild
Rough and overgrown
Friends say if I knew what was best
I would have left it long ago

But this land is mine
The ruts and rocks I've known
If they tell me I can't turn straw to gold
then I'll sew my plot alone

I've got fields I need to plow
I've got secrets underneath
My task lies before me
and my limbs cannot afford relief
So I've gotta get down on my knees

My seeds are few
This ground is cruel I know
But it's the only land and the only chance
I've got to help them grow

The dirt is hard
Fortune don't visit much
But if I lay her a proper bed
Perhaps I'll win that lady luck

I've got fields I need to plow
I've got secrets underneath
I will not leave here
But I will not stand in disbelief
So I've gotta get down on my knees
I've gotta get down
I've gotta get down
I've gotta get down on my knees
