lyrics

I shaped a home from the clay and stone
Settled by a railway and a road
From Richmond, back up to Ohio
Farther into untaimed acres
I scaled a mountain and saw this land
From the highest I could reach with my hands

I'm weathered and relentless
Not claiming what's pretentious anymore
Thinking of the past, when I was not myself, no
How long will this last,
Should anyone tell my story?
When I shaped a home

I shaped a home of the wood and stone
To be along the countryside
Miles a part from those hollow souls
From preaching to a choir
That I need forgiveness
When I don't care to be forgiven
