lyrics

Awakened by the day
Kicking dust along the way
The fields bereft of rain from this drought

All the streams have run dry
Leaving rivers unsupplied
Casting life aside for hardened ground

Somewhere beyond, the land is fine
I'll buy the field where lies the mine
And dig awhile, and dig awhile
Till there's treasures in a pile

Foundations in decay
Brick on brick falling away
Faithful sighing for this barren land

Longing for the hour
The glory and the power
When darkened clouds give rain at your command

Somewhere beyond, the land is fine
I'll buy the field where lies the mine
And dig awhile, and dig awhile
Till there's treasures in a pile
