The Pilot

Purple Candy

golden years

(Oh, oh, oh)
Morning light across the field
(La, la, la)
What did all that hard work yield?
He knew the season by the sky
By the way the wind would sigh
By the feel of dirt between his hands 
Like it whispered old commands 
He didn't speak of pain or fear
Just said, "The beans go in this year" (in this year)
And with a quiet, steady grace
He gave the field one last embrace
Can you see what we've become?
From the seeds of what you'd done
Fed the world, fed the soul
Left the rows in perfect roll
They're growing well, Dad, can you see?
The love you planted lives in me
(Oh, they're growing well)
He taught me how to read the land
Not with books, but with his hand 
How to listen when the earth is dry (earth is dry)
And how to trust the morning sky
He didn't chase a fortune's flame
Just cared for roots and gave them name 
And every meal that passed our plate
Was proof of work and quiet faith
Can you see what we've become?
From the seeds of what you'd done
Fed the world, fed the soul
Left the rows in perfect roll
They're growing well, Dad, can you see?
The love you planted lives in me
(Oh, they're growing well)
(La, la, la, la)
I walk these rows at break of day
(Oh, oh, oh)
Feel his footsteps fade away
(La, la, la)
Now my boy runs through these fields
Learning what the harvest yields 
Small hands dirty, eyes so wide 
Standing proud right by my side
I teach him how to plant and tend
How this work will never end (never end)
The same gentle, patient way
Dad showed me every single day
Three generations in this dirt, three generations giving worth
To every acre, every row, watching how the good seeds grow
From his father's father's hand, passed down through this sacred land
Not about the money made, it's about the promise stayed
When the world gets loud and fast, these roots are built to last
Teaching patience, teaching pride, with the earth as our guide
Every season brings its test, but we give our very best
'Cause the land remembers all, every rise and every fall
Can you see what we've become?
From the seeds of what you'd done
Fed the world, fed the soul
Left the rows in perfect roll
They're growing well, Dad, can you see?
The love you planted lives in me
(They're growing well, they're growing strong)
The love you planted carries on
(Oh, oh, oh)
Morning light across the field
(La, la, la)
This is what your life revealed
(Growing well, growing well)
The love you planted lives in me
(It lives in me)
For all the world to see
