Young Souls - 3rd Place

With a bundle of hay in my two hands 
I stood straight, aimed my gaze at a distance 
To the amber fields and what goes further 
Wishing that fate would pull me out harder 

Beyond the amber fields are skies of gray 
But my hope swelled as I silently pray 
That the heavens above would pour its grace 
To little children who toil in all ways 

May the rain of mercy pour upon them 
Who till the land as the source of their gem 
I pray that the heavens will understand 
That young souls like us need a helping hand

3rd place
