The hole is deep enough for the two of us And yet we keep on digging! To haul each day a heavy load Is this the life worth living? I hear the wailing in the distance I feel the heavy hooves beating down The stubborn mule never listened And the steed chased but never found The gift of life can give or take Like crops in a drought mid harvest Sugar cane can grow in numbers Or growing hunger serves to starve us So when the wind no longer howls We will see the trees stop flailing And when the eyes can see the sea We can trust the sailor sailing.
