Briars Lyrics

Young days behind me

And older ones to come

The trudge goes on

A distant song

I hear it on the dawn

Up in the morning

The same thing every day

The coffee's on

The kids they yawn

Hope I see when I pray

There's little moments

I feel it on my brow

The dripping sweat

Gives life and death

Bring joy and dug up ground

I may have missed it

The wonder of it all

The rushing winds

Been holding in

But I feel the breeze blowin'

Maybe it's true

You're in the toiling

The briars the sticks and under

Maybe it's true

There's little beauties

In broken back and hunger

Tell me O tell me

What am I to do

If man and beast

Are the same thing

Both die then what's the use

Maybe it's different

If everything is vain

Dance and see eternity

In laughter in the pain

Tell me it's true

You're in the toiling

The briars the sticks and under

Tell me it's true

There's little beauties

In broken back and hunger
