[ Featuring Natalie Nicoles ]
A shot made at dawn
Cannot tell my destiny
Or change my course more than
The songs that we/I sing
But the day can surprise you
Like a turn in a stream
Or a neighbor who shows up
Without you asking
The silence of the morning
Gives strength for the day
And the light off that barn
How it colors the way I see my hands
And my work way out there in the world
I hear you say
Leave it a little better
I hear you sayin'
You gotta leave it a little better
And all I got
Is all that I need
The gold in the field
And the green beneath my feet
The hands that were there
When I was too broken to see
Holding me up
Holding me together
It's never what you think
That ends up mattering the most
And the gold is never
In what you carry home
But in the warm ground growing
Right outside your door
And the latch closing quiet
Right behind you
And all we got
Is all that we need
The gold of the fields
And the green beneath our feet
The hands that were there
Through the struggle we have seen
Holding us up
Holding together
Holding us up
Holding together
The grace of the river
And the cleansing of the rain
The shimmer of the wheat
When the summer wains
For the beauty of the earth
Is in the love she gave
We're here to tend
We're not here for takin
We're here to tend
We're not here for takin
We're here to tend
We're not here for takin
And all we got
Is all that we need
The gold of the fields
And the green beneath our feet
The hands that held us
Even when we could not see
Holding us up
Holding together
Holding us up
Holding together
