Half Acre Lyrics by Hem

Rabbit Songs

2002

[Verse 1]
I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is the land I grew in

[Verse 2]
Think of every town you've lived in
Every room you lay your head
And what is it that you remember

[Chorus]
Do you carry every sadness with you
Every hour your heart was broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with you

[Verse 3]
A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
And light is only now just breaking

[Chorus]
So we carry every sadness with us
Every hour our hearts were broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with us

[Verse 4]
But I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper

[Chorus]
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
Every burden taken from me
Every night my heart unfolding
My home
