The Dirt

Mama,
I know the well is dry
Sing me songs one more time
The wind is raging
and the birds won’t fly
Nothing to eat,
and nowhere to hide
Mama,
It’s gonna be alright
Tell me the stories one more time
Where the grass is green
And the water runs wild,
where forever is forever
And noone has to die
'Cause you can’t drink the dirt,
even if you wanna
You can’t eat the dirt
Even if you wanna
You can’t breathe the dirt
Even if you wanna
But you’ll be in the dirt,
you’ll be the dirt
Mama,
I know I’m ready now
I’m not afraid
You don’t need to cry
Just close my eyes,
and wake up into a new life
Mama,
there is no need to cry
'Cause you can’t drink the dirt,
even if you wanna
You can’t eat the dirt
Even if you wanna
You can’t breathe the dirt
Even if you wanna
But you’ll be in the dirt,
you’ll be the dirt
