lyrics

We still pray
We still take a walk together
and the crowd still comes on Sunday
when they can
Come what may
there's sunny days and ocean sprays
Riches that'll never make you grand
we work the land for leisure now to feel it in our hands
here on this Sweetland

I can't say
which time of year is better
You just never know the weather
til that very day
That's ok
It comes hand in hand with understanding
somethings are never gonna change
I never though I'd say I like the way nothing goes as planed
here on this Sweetland

This ground runs for acres
I'm pretty sure it's all been underneath my feet
Where the old road runs across it
The rivers and the marshes to the tiniest creek
cold and sweet

We still pray
We still take a walk together
and the crowd still comes on Sundays
when they can
Come what may
There's sunny days and ocean sprays
Riches that'll never make you grand
We work the land for leisure now to feel it in our hands
here on this Sweetland
