restless is dawn as it wanders the farmhouse   a new day awaits, always work through the night   patiently planting his thoughts on the pages   under the marble of kerosene light      off to the west you can feel it comin'   a thick steel vain for a river of power   carelessly turning the earth into wasteland   as thousands of years disappear in an hour      hold your ground on the wrong side of the cloud   they're closer now to a cold black broken line   hold your ground when they come to cut you down   they're closer now to the rock that breaks the tines      I can't see what you do from back in the boat room   faceless equations of profit and cost   they wave you away like a fly on the radar   keep coming back and you'll throw them off course      though it's always been this way   doesn't mean that it's your fate   but you know it takes the strength of heart and mind   and the faith some day the world will see your sign   nothing is lost if you give yourself wholly   nothing is gained if you keep it inside      hold your ground on the wrong side of the cloud   they're closer now to a cold black broken line   hold your ground when they come to cut you down   they're closer now to the rock that breaks the tines
