	Lyrics Happy barefoot worth the work that I put in the earth full of hopes and dreams and fear my roots won’t take to the rocks weather’s placed in the way of vitamin dirt my late rain dances seem to cast no trances on the dry cloudless open blue sky so I eat pumpernickel my gold grows fickle in the soil that my labors plow and by the time you’re in earshot of the glory you’re allowed it moves to make you travel more so load up the front-end loader and move around some dirt for us where I go is where I’ll hope that maybe soon my gold will grow be best if shine and if showers could somehow cohabitate and give a gentle push towards blubs-a-burstin’ from the earthen skin and I found love love in my friends and I found love love in my friends though the dirt I’ve tilled barely yields what keeps my stomach filled I will keep my head about me keep the dig up keep my belly brimmed up and after while surely this will make me richer on the inside the gold in my heart it provides to know I’ll see the day when my harvest thicks up and keeps fed all in my kingdom of family and friends and I found love love in my friends I found love love in my friends throbbing heaps of amethyst globbing on my soul’s duress pains me no level of stress floundering in gentleness and I found love love in my friends I found love love in my friends so I’m gonna take my love back to where my love is from and I hope I find my way my friends will see me when I’m there back where my love is from
