Land Cries Out

He's got a few thousand acres

He's got his water and sun

He's got his dad and his dad's footprints

Buried deep in this sand

But he's tired and he's stopped talking

And his mind is getting weaker every day

So behind a diesel running, bang

He takes it all away

And then the land cries out

Where's my little family gone?

And the land cries still

The one who's loved me so, so long

Now he's tired and he's stopped fighting

And he thinks that he's let everybody down

A desperate man, desperate measures

A desperate fire rings out

And then the land cries out

Where's my little family gone?

And then the land cries still

The one who's loved me so, so long

I'm gonna be razed

And robbed by a rich man's greed

And all I really want back is my family, please

And the land cries out

And the land cries still

I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying

But I keep running for that door

And I hear the land, she is calling

And I'm so torn, yeah, I'm so torn

And then the land cries out

Where's my little family gone?

And then the land cries still

The one who's loved me so, so long

I'm gonna be razed

And robbed by a rich man's greed

And all I really want back is my family, please

And the land cries out

And the land cries still

And the land cries out
