Why do we try so hard to succeed on our own?
'Oft-seen faces'
Sitting on this craggy ridge...
Gazing at my fallen bridge...
The weather's hit me hard this year...
Not sure where to go from here?
Take this rambling road, our sole traverse
Has a mind of its own and a devils curse
Some days I have what it takes I'm sure
but others...
Well ...I'm not so sure
When it's not the floods
it's the constant sun
40 plus brings you right undone
Just reaching the cattle's often tough
Priming them ...I can't do well enough
Can I take this another year?
What will the banker say I fear?
These are times that stop you dead
And cop-outs nag
So deep in your head:
Is there a fortune to be had?
Would my life be rich and glad...?
In shiny cars in far off places?
Save this farm and these 'oft-seen faces'?
(but you know...)
Surrender is for mugs & fools...
What use downing trusted tools
Where barriers may block our way
Belief arrives with the coming day
And although life can torment you
these 'oft-seen faces' see you through
They will always sustain you
The ones you love will see you through
