Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower, and barley
Chorus:
(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healinʼ)
This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are digginʼ the earth)
Some close to the surface, some close to the casket

I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work

Mm (Oh-oh-oh)
G#C#
Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Canal boat and trolley, wildflower and barley

Springtime from my window

Another month has not much longer now

The sun hesitates more on each eveningʼs darkeninʼ

Would all things God allows remain above ground
A#mD#G#C#
Like grief and sweet memory, wildflower and barley
