Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Restless is dawn as it wanders the farm house

 A new day awaits though he’s worked through the night

 Patiently planting his thoughts on the pages

 Under the mumble of kerosene light

Off to the West you can feel it coming

 A thick, steel vein for a river of power

 Carelessly turning the earth into wasteland

 As thousands of years disappear in an hour

  Hold your ground on the wrong side of the plough

  They’re closer now to a cold, black, broken line

  Hold your ground when they come to cut you down

  They’re closer now to the rock that breaks the tines

 Can’t see what you do from back in the boardroom

 Faceless equations of profit and cost

 They wave you away like a fly on the radar

 But keep coming back and you’ll throw them off course

  Though it’s always been this way

  Doesn’t mean that it’s your fate

  But you know it takes the

  Strength of heart and mind

  And the faith someday the world will see your side

  Nothing is lost if you give yourself wholly

  Nothing is gained if you keep it inside
