40 Acres Lyrics - Caedmons Call

There's 40 acres and redemption to be found 

Just along down the way 

There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground 

And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains 

Out here the Texas sky it's as big as the sea 

And you're alone in your room like an island floating free 

Spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree 

You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family 

Throw that bottle to the waves 

They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see 

40 acres and redemption to be found 

Just along down the way 

There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground 

And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains 

'Cause out here hope remains, 'cause out here hope remains 

Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen 

It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean 

Now these rocks they are crying too 

And this whole land is calling out for you 

40 acres and redemption to be found 

Just along down the way 

There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground 

And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains 

'Cause out here hope remains, 'cause out here hope remains 

'Cause out here hope remains
