This world is made from sweat and toil Pushing muscle and elbow oil We can’t lie too long in the shade Because everyday must be remade
Some days we fall some days we fly In the end we all must die Our rotten flesh and broken bones Will feed the ground that we call home Will feed the ground that we call home
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree This song will go on after me So lift your heart and dry your eyes It’s another day to live and die It’s another day to live and die
Now I’ve run naked in the wild Seen the beauty of a new born child Like the alchemists of old I’ve tried to spin my straw to gold
Most times a giver some times a thief So full of hope but prone to grief Between freedom and despair I know the truth is lying there I know the truth is lying there
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree This song will go on after me So lift your heart and dry your eyes It’s another day to live and die It’s another day to live and die
Go on now don’t you worry about me You’ve miles to go and a world to see My life’s been long and full and good I’ve run this race the best I could
It’s a short time here and a long apart The same song rings in both our hearts So take this guitar when I’m gone Write your rhymes and pass it on
A new sprout grows from a fallen tree This song will go on after me So lift your heart and dry your eyes It’s another day to live and die It’s another day to live and die
