Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the red clay road
there's a name in the dust
A fence cut the field
but it never cut us
The river keeps low
like it knows what it saw
I fold my hands tight
and I question the law
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, who planted fear here?
Who taught the shade to grow?
The roots are still breathing
under every row
[Chorus]
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
We will not hide it
We will not hide it
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
Say it out loud now
Say it out loud now
[Verse 2]
My mother said, child
keep your eyes on the sky
But the sky had its bruises
and refused to reply
So I walked through the cotton
through the sun and the blame
Every step was a witness
every pulse knew my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, who planted fear here?
Who taught the shade to grow?
The roots are still breathing
under every row
[Chorus]
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
We will not hide it
We will not hide it
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
Say it out loud now
Say it out loud now
[Bridge]
I hear the old church door
I hear the boots on wood
I hear the living rise up
for the ones who stood
And when the night comes in
with its iron and its smoke
We light our tongues like torches
we refuse to choke
[Final Chorus]
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
We will not hide it
We will not hide it
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
Say it out loud now
Say it out loud now
Bitter harvest
bitter harvest
Still, we are here now
Still, we are here now
