Today I went to the field,
Today I missed the park;
Today the crop is dry,
Today things are dark;
Last year I was on a high,
Last year the crop was smart;
Today the crop did not exalt,
Today my life is on a halt;
Today I went to the field,
Today I missed the park;
A crop needs water, a spirit some fuel,
But God is thirsty but man is too cruel;
Today the crop is crying,
Today God is denying;
Today the man is flying,
Today the man is dying
Today I went to the field,
Today I missed the park;
A crop is a baby, a man a boy,
Today baby is hungry, today man is on ploy;
Today man is betraying the land,
Today man is suffering no end;
Today the man has hopes ,
But today the man lacks spark
Today the crop is dry
Today everything is dark.
