If I were a farmer and the earth moved beneath my skin
C G Am F
The dark soil my blood
C G Am F
The land would be my mother my life and my lover
C G Am D
And I would live a simple life
F G Em Am (/G) D
With the changing of the seasons the wind the rain the moon and the sunshine
F7 G C
These things would be the only real things
If I were a poet and I could feel the beating drum
Just behind the material world
I'd give word to mystery and name the things in every heart
And I would live a pensive life
Power in every word
I'd lose myself in every line
These things would be the only real things
CHORUS:
F C
But I see only the surface of things
F C G
Every thought cliche
Dm (/E) F
If only I could find just one real thing
F7 G C
But the searching is the only real thing
If I were a prophet and I could speak the words of God
My mouth touched with fire
I'd pray for mercy and pray God would hold his hand
And I would live a holy life
I'd cry for the whole world
And wrestle with God every night
These things would be the only real things
I'm searching for the only real thing
