The drought, it dried up everything,
The ground was kissed by lightning.
Fire was wild and moving fast,
Burnin' shrubs and all the gra**.
Now the ground is bare, but don't you weep
'Cause prairie roots are runnin' deep.
The smoke and seeds are scatterèd
The prairie fire prepares a bed.
Whoa-oh
La da da de dum
Oh, the sunlight shining in the morning,
See the seeds, the soil so warm, my darlin',
Hush, I hear them singing alleluia,
I know I know they sing their morning hymn
As the day begins
Resurrected
The wind and heat and stems conspire,
Smoke and flames arising higher,
Lifted voices like a choir,
I can love a prairie fire.
