lyrics

I'm not connected to my parents
they're not connected to theirs
that's why we all turn to the Beatles
to give us a reason to be here

But now that's gone
that day is done
now that the west
is far too won
lookin' back
hear me sing
I pray for another day with you

Hear the snow crunch under my feet
on my Daddy's land
Oh how I long to be connected
with its dirt in my hands

But now that's gone
that day is done
now that the west
is far too won
lookin' back
hear me sing
I pray for another day with you

I've been a miner for a heart of gold
I got one in St. Louis down in Hammerstone's
but when I left I left alone
so tell me what good is a heart of gold

hear Wendell from the page
singing grow something slowly
hear Paul from the grave
singing grow one another
hear the mighty MLK
singing grow something boldly
hear Jesus in the ones who use his words for love
sing grow grow grow grow grow grow grow

I pray for another day
another day
another day with you
