lyrics

Picking up the pieces
Can be difficult for me
Some are in my hand
Others out of reach
None are made to measure
All a different size
That's why, first chance I get
You know I'm gonna fly

To the fields of order
Through the rows and rows
Where you work with the sunlight
And the green that grows
Might break your back but
At least you know
There’s still a place in the world where you
Reap what you sow

I don’t know how it works
I just know what it does
And so for all this power gained
There is a knowledge lost
Deepest roots hide humble
Growing into the earth
That's why, by and by,
I'm dreaming of the dirt

To the fields of order
Through the rows and rows
Where you work with the sunlight
And the green that grows
Might break your back but
At least you know
There’s still a place in the world where you
Reap what you sow

Hard to think of a stranger
Time than now
Live in such abundance
And yet I feel a doubt
Endless possibility
Only drags me down
So you know where I’m gonna go
While I can still get out

To the fields of order
Through the rows and rows
Where you work with the sunlight
And the green that grows
Might break your back but
At least you know
There’s still a place in the world where you
Reap what you sow
