I walked down on the farm to see what's going on
Cause the man back in town says the food's no good any more
I walked out on the land saw a very strange man
With his mouth full of sand and his hands buried deep in the ground
He thought the earth had died around here
Nothing grows around here
We never gave back to the land here, buried down
How deep in the ground will you bury down?
Everything that you took from the land with your very own hand
How deep in the ground will you bury down?
Then he let down all of his hair, to show me all that was there
As a hundred thousand seeds fell to the ground
All the stars they spun around me
The moon crossed paths beyond me
As the man disappeared down into the ground
How deep in the ground will you bury down?
Everything that you took from the land with your very own hand
How deep in the ground will you bury down?
So I headed back to town with all the seeds that I found
I knocked on every door for a hundred hours or more
To see who I could find to help me change my mind
How deep in the ground will you bury down?
Everything that you took from the land with your very own hand
How deep in the ground will you bury down?
I will decide
In the morning you'll find
The answer's in the ground
