Caedmon`s Call 40 Acres Lyrics

40 Acres Lyrics

Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives

 And there's a thousand exits between here and the state line

 About the last time that I saw you

 You said call me Pandora, call me a fool

 

 And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good

 So drop these scales and take a look

 

 There's 40 acres and redemption to be found

 Just along down the way

 There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground

 And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains

 'Cause out here hope remains...

 

 Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea

 And you're alone in your room like an island floating free

 Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree

 You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family

 

 So throw that bottle to the waves

 They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see

 

 Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen

 It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean

 Now these rocks they are crying too

 And this whole land is calling out for you
