Harvesting Hope: Tales of Resilience on El Reno Terrain
Lyrics
What makes it all worth while
Questioning the purpose or value of certain actions or experiences.
What makes me do it all again
Wondering about the motivation to repeat past actions despite challenges.
Maybe because it's just the way
Suggesting that the actions or situations are habitual and customary.
Things have always been
Implying a sense of continuity or tradition in how things are done.
Grandpa worked the ground
Referring to previous generations working the land.
And taught my daddy to do the same
Passing down knowledge and skills related to farming or agriculture.
Now here I am praying to God
Seeking divine intervention or assistance in a difficult situation.
To spare a little rain
Asking for a favor, such as rain, essential for the land's productivity.
Sometimes it feels like such a gamble
Expressing uncertainty or risk in the agricultural profession.
I can't put my hope in what's at stake
Feeling hesitant to rely on the unpredictable outcomes of farming.
Cause if I do, it could be too much for me to handle
Concern that depending too much on farming's results might overwhelm.
The fate of our El Reno terrain
Reflecting on the destiny or future of their particular terrain in El Reno.
We may not gain a nickel
Acceptance of potentially minimal financial gain in farming.
It's the simple risk we take
Acknowledging the inherent risks involved in agricultural activities.
And often I wonder why
Questioning personal motivations for persisting in daily farming.
I even do it every day
Expressing puzzlement or doubt about the continual commitment to farming.
Sometimes it feels like such a gamble
Reiterating the uncertainty and risk associated with farming.
I can't put my hope in what's at stake
Reaffirming the reluctance to place hope in uncertain agricultural outcomes.
Cause if I do, it could be too much for me to handle
Concern that too much reliance on farming outcomes could be overwhelming.
The fate of our El Reno terrain
Reiterating the concern about the future or destiny of the El Reno terrain.
So I watch the cow graze
Observing the natural behavior of cows on the land.
Their younglings run and dance
Noticing the playful behavior of young cows on the land.
I feel the gentle breeze
Experiencing the soothing effects of the wind or atmosphere.
And remember why I'm on this land
Recalling the reasons or personal connection to the land.
Sometimes it feels like such a gamble
Reiterating the feeling of uncertainty and risk in farming.
I can't put my hope in what's at stake
Re-emphasizing hesitance to depend on uncertain farming outcomes.
Cause if I do, it could be too much for me to handle
Reiterating the potential overwhelming nature of reliance on farming.
The fate of our El Reno terrain
Repetition emphasizing the future or destiny of El Reno's terrain.
The fate of our El Reno terrain
Final repetition emphasizing the significance of El Reno's terrain fate.
The fate of our El Reno terrain
Concluding repetition emphasizing the destiny of El Reno's terrain.
