Caedmon's Call - "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 And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good You said call me Pandora, call me a fool Just along down the way There's 40 acres and redemption to be found And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains So drop these scales and take a look There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground 'Cause out here hope remains... And you're alone in your room like an island floating free Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea 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 Now these rocks they are crying too It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean And this whole land is calling out for you
