The Farmer Lyrics by Luke Spehar

The Pilgrim

2018

When the man heard the words, he went
Never to look back again
Placed his hands on the plow and worked
Deep furrows in the ground
And though his hands began to bleed
As he plowed and planted seeds
He would not look for rest
He would only sing
That "this is the plow that I have been given
This is my horse and this is my land
The deepest tears run over my heart
And the workman for my hands
Someday the rain will fall
These seeds will grow
And the harvest will come
So I will rise before the dawn
He'll give me rest when the day is done
Give me rest when the day is done"
From a distance, the boy looked on
Learning more than he knew
He listened close as the teacher taught
And just like the seeds, he grew
All day he worked and fought
The urge to quit, the urge to stop
For he could not forget
When he heard the man say
That "this is the plow that I have been given
This is my horse and this is my land
The deepest tears run over my heart
And the workman for my hands
Someday the rain will fall
These seeds will grow
And the harvest will come
So I will rise before the dawn
He'll give me rest when the day is done
Please give me rest when my days are done"
