[Verse 1] Tore the boards from the porch Pulled the vines from the gate Found a rusted blue mailbox And a hinge that still could wait Mama said, "Boy, pray first" So we prayed by the truck Then we hauled in the daylight And we started the luck [Pre-Chorus] Dust in the rafters Mud on our boots Sun on the ladder Truth in the roots If the ground still breathes Then the old place can rise We can bring back the seed We can bring back the sky [Chorus] Bring it back, bring it back Old farm revival Hands in the dirt And a hymn for survival Bring it back, bring it back Let the fields sing too What was left for dead Ain't done with you [Verse 2] Fixed the crack in the cistern Mended wire by the lane Saw a red-tailed hawk circle Like a sign in the rain Painted over the sorrow With a fresh coat of white And the screen door slapped amen In the late afternoon light [Pre-Chorus] Dust in the rafters Mud on our boots Sun on the ladder Truth in the roots If the ground still breathes Then the old place can rise We can bring back the seed We can bring back the sky [Chorus] Bring it back, bring it back Old farm revival Hands in the dirt And a hymn for survival Bring it back, bring it back Let the fields sing too What was left for dead Ain't done with you [Bridge] Granddaddy's hammer Still fit my hand Every bent nail Was a promised land We laughed through the thunder We worked till the moon Then the barn light burned Like a Sunday tune [Final Chorus] Bring it back, bring it back Old farm revival Hands in the dirt And a hymn for survival Bring it back, bring it back Let the fields sing too What was left for dead Ain't done with you Bring it back, bring it back Hear that hallelujah Broke ground today And the good Lord knew ya Bring it back, bring it back From the weeds to the roof What was left for dead Ain't done with you
