Under a thousand burning suns
We sow along and wait for one
But even the soil is owned by man
So we sell the seed and forfeit the land
Driven beyond the rake and plow
Giving our best years to feed our mouths
Ever so carefully entwined
Weaving the needle through rye
Looming over, through the field it calls
Night blends with the fire
Oh Saint Maria
You're the morning
Under a dark and callous sky
You shine your light through painted glass
Under the rise of wind and dust
Sever the skies from earth and rust
Pick up the plow and plant again
Settle the seed into the land
On top of the bails the lilies climb
Leave us a sign you're on top of the pile
You're on top of the pile
Great to see ya Saint Maria
You are the moment, You're the solvent, yeah
The sun shines through the fire
Oh Saint Maria
You're the morning
Under a dark and callous sky
Though harm and tears
All's forgiven
Into the quick dissolving rye
You shine your light through painted glass, yeah yeah
