The son’s narrator is the only survivor of a mining accident similar to the 2006 Sago Mine disaster. Only one miner survived of the 13 who were trapped underground by a methane explosion.
Another day in the hole
A feel my lungs fill up with coal
I go to work; I go to bed
It's what I do to keep you fed
It's what my father did for me;
When you are older, you will see
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
The heart of me is in this town;
The heart of that is in the ground
Thirteen men were in this hole
But God only wants a dozen souls
To gather prayers and send them down
I'll say these words until I'm found
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
Know that I did all I could
To save the others, like Christians should
So, baby, it's just my time
Walk, talk, hold your head up high
But for now ...
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
