lyrics

They shut the old mill down
So many good jobs went south
They put a prison in its place
So many good lives contained
Have you seen them all?
Rising for the altar call
A taste of heaven, a taste of hell
When they’re never gonna make it out

You are my brother, this much I know
I want to let your goodness show
You are my sister, as I have seen
I want to let your goodness breathe
You are my family, although I’ve fought
You gave me all the good I’ve got
I built an altar unto itself
You’re never gonna let me out

I’ve got some good plans of my own
Set off to watch my future grow
Like a good weed that I let
Take over my garden plants
Until one day I dug it up
Washed my hands and shaved and cussed
It was then that I felt
Your goodness is my only help

So when I die will you dig my grave?
The only place I want to lay
Is right by you in the shade
A million nights, a million days
But there’s a lifetime in between
I want to set my goodness free
I feel my nature; it goes away
I will not keep; I will not stay

Yes I’ve hoped for things unseen
Yes I’m unsure of so many things
I will not keep; I will not stay
Goodness, won’t you come my way
Another place, another day
Yes I know that I’ve loved this world
Yes I know that I’ve loved this world
Yes I know that I’ve loved this place
Yes I know that I’ve loved your face
Goodness, won’t you come my way
Goodness, don’t you fade away
I will not keep; I will not stay
Goodness, don’t you fade away
