Born of This Earth

Born of this earth And live a life that I love No matter my girth I am rising above From a life filled with pain Comes a big part of me We will all need the rain Just like a big tree From the earth I did come One day back I will go You can see where I’m from Am I needed to show Displayed my disdain With emotional force From what I pertain I stayed to my course It was up on the soil That I learned to be free It was there I did toil And I learned to be me Taking my med For dulling my pain With a feeling of dread Up here in my brain Going back to the soil Is what we all do You do not want to spoil What was best for the crew When I retire Bury me deep My work is for hire But now I must sleep
