Scorched Earth

Would my eyes
But see some fruit upon this surface
Then my mind
Would finally think these seeds aren't worthless
Till and plant
To shape the landscape for a plan
The earth is scorched
And turned to stone like the hearts of man

The ground is burned
The soils turned
The sky is dry
Mocking my struggle to survive
With dust all around and dust all around us
Our plight to sustain life
With dust all around and dust all around us
My struggle to survive
With dust all around and dust all around us
Our plight to sustain life
With dust all around and dust all around us
Send the rain
The only hope for these fields
The sky refrains
Our work and hope shows no yield

Verdant canopies fill my dreams
In reality devoid of green
The only growth that I have seen
Is the resilience of weeds

Would my eyes
But see some fruit upon this surface
Then my mind
Would finally think these seeds aren't worthless
Till and plant
To shape the landscape for a plan
The earth is scorched
And turned to stone like the hearts of man
Send the rain
The only hope for these fields
The sky refrains
Our work and hope shows no yield
Send the rain
Send the rain
