[Verse]
The landman came with a map in his hand
Lines and squares
The whole thing planned
The farmer shook his head
Soil on his boots
"I grow what I can
I can't uproot."
The lumberjack laughed
Axe on his back
"Trees don't care for paper tracks."
[Chorus]
Oh
The landman dreams
The farmer sows
The lumberjack reaps where the tall pine grows
Three men bound to the earth
But split apart
Each with a claim
Each with a heart
[Verse 2]
The farmer spoke of seasons and rain
"I till the ground
I bear the strain."
The landman replied
"It’s all for sale
Every acre
Every trail."
The lumberjack whistled
His blade in the light
"Timber falls in the quiet night."
[Chorus]
Oh
The landman dreams
The farmer sows
The lumberjack reaps where the tall pine grows
Three men bound to the earth
But split apart
Each with a claim
Each with a heart
[Bridge]
The river runs through
Quiet and cold
It’s seen more stories than can be told
The hills roll on
The skies stretch wide
Each man fights for his own side
[Verse 3]
The landman folded his map in shame
The farmer stayed
His fields the same
The lumberjack moved to a deeper wood
Three men scattered
Misunderstood
