Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Oh, keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
[Instrumental Outro]
