Lyrics
[Verse 1] By the fire, mateo draws a field in the sand Says, “one day i’ll grow good food with my own two hands” He’s got seed saved in jars and a plan for the rain And a hillside that could feed the whole lane [Chorus] We’ll turn this little patch of earth around Plant fruit trees where the hard ground held us down Share the harvest, save the water, let the good roots run A farm that gives back to everyone [Verse 2] His friends lean in close as the night breeze arrives Talking compost and shade for the young greens to thrive Someone marks out a pond; someone names a new crop And the fire burns low, but the dreaming won’t stop [Chorus] We’ll turn this little patch of earth around Plant fruit trees where the hard ground held us down Share the harvest, save the water, let the good roots run A farm that gives back to everyone [Bridge] When the first rains come, we’ll be ready to sow With a roof for the seedlings and a place for them to grow No one builds it alone, no one eats alone We’ll make a living land and call it home [Chorus] We’ll turn this little patch of earth around Plant fruit trees where the hard ground held us down Share the harvest, save the water, let the good roots run A farm that gives back to everyone [Outro] By the fire, under stars, they can see it begin A little more life in the world they’re living in
