Lyrics
Farmland
Generations of hard and simple
Bring us our daily bread
Tomorrows here and yesterdays gone
Where is our heartland America?
Chorus
I have seen farmlands today
I have seen farmlands fade away
Everyone needs food and water
So This I just don?t understand
Land passed down from father to son
Working hard for their children
Bulldozers, 'n tycoons came today
Taking out farmlands and wildlife
The air we breathe is filled with uncertain
Is there enough food tomorrow?
CHORUS
The barn collapsed, after 10 dry years
Couldn?t hold on any longer
Suburban sprawls across the Great Plains
Is this great countryside vanishing?
solo
CHORUS
