lyrics

Well the first born son carries on more than a name
Strong fist closed tightly around all he'd claimed
Far as the moon on a golden day
He left his city eyes behind and drove away

He started workin', workin' with the cold, scarred ground
And he left without her knowing that he was earthly bound
Well they say it can't be done, but he knows it will
"I'll grow as much as there are hands to fill"

CH
'Cause there ain't no mercy and there ain't no grace
Not a well that's full and no plow to chase
On you they shine, but for you I pray
'Cause there ain't no mercy

Well the first born son found a name of his own
The open skies bled through him into the dirt he sowed
Growin' a life right on the ground he'd healed
A man with city eyes can grow a fertile field
