From the recording The Shearing
Lyrics
Working with my hands
Makes me understand
A part of me remains
In the shadow
Working with my hands
Helps me remember
Where my blood belongs
Wild land
Deep South
Working in the land
Had me making sense
Of what my life could have
Been
Working in the land
Had me feeling closer
To those who came before
Me
Deep South
My elders are sacred
They used to work their land
Getting their hands dirty
Getting their hands dirty
Deep South
