Heavy Hands (feat. Joshua Du Chene & May Claire La Plante)

If I turn my eyes From these cold blue skies Won't stay my worry Won't calm or quell I can say my piece I can barter my tale Won't ease my burden But I might as well There's a heavy hand Laid across this land And it steers my journey And it guides my pen Press on, head high 'Til the ink has run dry 'Cause my story ain't like To wind home again Well, I'll beat my drum 'Til my last day come Or the mountain meets the sea Yeah, the earth will shake But the boughs she break Won't put no fear in me 'Cause I see a land on high So I pen my final line Sky will shimmer and sun will shine Where the water tastes like wine Well, I've wandered 'round And there's a code I found Says a gentle manner And a righteous way This pair you'll need If you follow this creed She'll see you through Until the judgement day But there ain't no law Under tooth and claw In the nest of vipers Or the lion's den You can holler and wail 'Til the echo goes stale Ain't way nor manner Gonna save you then But I'll beat my drum 'Til my last day come Or the mountain meets the sea Yeah, the earth will shake But the boughs she break Won't put no fear in me 'Cause I see a land on high So I pen my final line Well, stories end and I'm closin' mine Where the water tastes like wine So when the waters still And you feel that thrill For the open trail Has slipped away When the words won't flow When your fingers run slow And the song you carry Goes dull and gray. Well, there's a place I seen Where the soul burns clean And the verse it's singin' Rings pure and true So cry no more You just open that door These shores of plenty Gonna welcome you And I beat my drum 'Til my last day come Or the mountain meets the sea Yeah, the earth will shake But the boughs she break Won't put no fear in me 'Cause I see a land on high So I pen my final line I've said my fill and I'm feelin' fine Where the water tastes like wine
