Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives
And there`s a thousand exits between here and the state line
About the last time that I saw you
You said call me Pandora, call me a fool
And I`m thinking this view it could do you some good
So drop these scales and take a look
There`s forty acres and redemption to be found
Just along the way
There is a place where no plow blade has ever turned the ground
And you will turn it over, `cause out here hope remains
`Cause out here hope remains...
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
And your alone in your room like an island floating free
Your spirit`s hanging in a bottle out on a tree
You say that you`re the black sheep, I say you`re still family
So throw that bottle to the waves
They`ll bring you in to me and the shore you will see
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 Send "Caedmons Call 40 Acres" Ringtone to your Cell
