Moved On

It's not the rain and it's not the sun
The corn still grows, this ground's still good
These hands still swing and the steel is fine
Some years behind it but look how it shines
But Pete has heard that we all must go
It ain't the crop, it's a lack of soul
They all roll in with steam and tyres
To care for this land is all we've desired

And all my life I've learned
Head down and work
But now I've been moved on
How'd I get it wrong?

And Johnna says there's fruit out there
And hands are needed and the pay is fair
They won't listen, their moves are set
The board has voted and sends its regrets
The children they don't care so much
They'll play the same in fields or in dust
But the way it tills and stirs the land
Is nothing like what it stirs in a man

And all my life I've learned
Head down and work
But now I've been moved on
How'd I get it wrong?

I don't trust that man or the way that he spoke
Ask for some line, he'll sell you the boat
No, we'll all move on, the Lord will guide us
We go together, lie down in pastures

And all my life I've learned
Head down and work
But now I've been moved on
How'd I get it wrong?
