This world is made with sweat and toil
Pushin' muscle and elbow oil
We can't lie too long in the shade
Cause every day must be remade
Some days we fall, some days we fly
But in the end we all must die
Our rotting flesh and broken bones
Will feed the ground that we call home
But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree
My songs will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
Another day to live and die
I've run naked in the wild
Seen the beauty of a newborn child
And 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 prone to grief
Oh between freedom and despair
I know the truth is lying there
But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree
This world will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
Another day to live and die
So go on now, don't you worry 'bout me
You got miles to go and a world to see
My life's been long and full and good
And I've run this race the best I could
It's 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 and pass them along
Write your own rhymes and pass it on
But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree
Your song will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eyes
It's another day to live and die
It's another day to live and die
It's another day to live and die
