Tim O'Brien Another Day Lyrics

This world is made with sweat and toil
Pushing muscle and elbow oil
We can't lie too long in the shade
Cause every day must be remade
Some days you fall some days you fly
But in the end we all must die
Our rotting flesh and broken bone
Will feed the ground that we call home
Will feed the ground that we call home

But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree
My sons will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eye
It's another day to live and die
It's another day to live and die

I've run naked in the wild
Seen the beauty of a newborn child
Like the alchemists of old
I've tried to spin my straw to gold
Most times a giver, sometimes a thief
So full of hope but p___e to grief
Between freedom and despair
I know that truth is lying there
I've seen the truth, it's lying there

And a new sprout grows from a fallen tree
My sons will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eye
It's another day to live and die
It's another day to live and die

So go on now, don't you worry 'bout me
You've miles to go and a world to see
My life's been long and full and good
I've run this race the best I could
It's a short time here and long apart,
But the same song rings in both our hearts
So take my guitar when I'm gone
Write your own rhymes, then pass it on
Just take your hit and then pass it on

Let a new sprout grow from a fallen tree
This song will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eye
It's another day to live and die
It's another day to live and die
Just another day...
