Lyrics:
Bring the horses to waterThe last light of the sunWear that dirt and sweat with prideToday's works all done
It's a simple life, but we know what's rightPart of his plan, God provided this landCan I hear an Amen my friend
It's a simple truth, from the seed to the rootThe fruit of our toil, springs forth from the soilSustenance again
Clean your hands and wash your faceLeave those dirty boots by the doorStow away the tools of the tradeThere's no need to work anymore
It's a simple life, but we know what's rightPart of his plan, God provided this landCan I hear an Amen my friend
It's a simple truth, from the seed to the rootThe fruit of our toil, springs forth from the soilSustenance again
When the veil of the evening fallsStars hail in the nightGather round with the loved onesFeel the warmth of the fire
It's a simple life, but we know what's rightPart of his plan, God provided this landCan I hear an Amen my friend
It's a simple truth, from the seed to the rootThe fruit of our toil, springs forth from the soilSustenance again
About the Song:
A deep cut from the Ram’s upcoming album, “Warmth of the Fire” is a prayer to rural America. A subdued reflection on being raised on a small farm in Southeastern Pennsylvania; five children, two widowed grandmothers, and legendary parents.
We were raised to help others. Neighboring farmers worked together, and supported one another. With the family’s blessing, our neighbors kept their livestock free roaming by the farmhouse. In the evenings, they’d come over and bring the horses to water. My father’s bond with the land was his gift to each of his children, his spirit looks over those farmlands.
“With love comes sustenance.”
