Verse 1:
I grew up on the edges of a beautiful earth. and my roots grew deep in that gift. And I'd cross the field that led from our house to the house where my grandparents lived.

Chorus A:
But change has been running like wind through the fields. Some things you can't stop with your hands. And paper and lawyers and banks are still stronger than anyone's love of the land. Some things you can't stop with your hands.

Verse 2:
Now I live in that house where my grandfather died then years ago. He'd lived there alone, since the day that she passed. And now they've both found their new home.

Chorus B:
But change has been running like wind through our lives. Some things you can't stop with your hands. And time and death and God are still stronger than pain or fear or my plans.Some things you can't stop with your hands.

Bridge:
Now there's a field full of memories. It's covered in factory. And I'm not allowed on the grounds that they use. I sank my soles into that earth. My blood and my family in the dirt. But now there's no more ground to lose. No, no, no.

Repeat Chorus A
