Christopher Paul Stelling - Labor Against Waste Scarecrow

Lyrics

- we were lost and set adrift on a red clay unmarked road - with nothing ‘cept what we could hold, free of every debt we owed - we’d left behind our sorted pasts and all we had held dear - we’d dropped the sails climbed the mast, made a promise in the mirror feeling so inspired - so breath, breath it out, lay your burdens down to rest - breath, through the doubts - never let them get the best, the best of you - hey now look yonder darling whats that i see , don’t that scarecrow on the hillside look an awful lot like me - with his arms all spread out wide like he was measuring the fields, or was he out there standing guard over something long been concealed - using his body as a shield - or maybe he’s more like jesus christ, out there crucified - for what he held inside his heart that he could no longer hide - did it make him out a liar - so breath - breath it out, lay your burdens down to rest - breath, through the doubts, never let them get the best, the best of you -
