The path has been a long one, with dirt on my shoes,
Days stretching like shadows in the midday blues.
Under the sun, I feel beaten, battered, and bruised,
Carrying these expectations like they were my muse.
A heart weighed down by a heavy old bag,
Smiling through the storm, calling exhaustion a brag,
But Lord, I know I've been running this race,
Chasing dreams that seem just out of place.
Lord, I cried like a mad man to you up above,
Help me find peace, I'm searching for love,
This road is so long, my pain it's a song,
Just need a little rest, it won't be too long.
Under the oak tree, where shadows fall near,
Put my feet up high, breath easy, no fear.
Roll a little smoke, with this cup in my hand,
Thankful for the moment, it's a simple plan.
The whispers of the wind, they ease my soul,
Moments like these, they help me feel whole.
With every leaf that rustles, I hear the sweet sound,
Of nature's own comfort, where my heart is found.
I've toiled in the fields, faced the storms and the rain,
But I know there's a blessing woven through the pain.
So I'll sit a spell, let the world spin on by,
With the sun on my face and the blue sky up high.
Lord, I cried like a mad man to you up above,
Help me find peace, I'm searching for love,
This road is so long, my pain it's a song,
Just need a little rest, it won't be too long.
Under the oak tree, where shadows fall near,
Put my feet up high, breath easy, no fear.
Roll a little smoke, with this cup in my hand,
Thankful for the moment, it's a simple plan.
Time slows down beneath the branches' embrace,
Finding solace in the stillness of this place.
The weight of the world feels lighter somehow,
In this sacred moment, I take my vow.
To cherish the struggle, the lessons I've learned,
To breathe in the beauty for which I've yearned.
Lord, I cried like a mad man to you up above,
Help me find peace, I'm searching for love,
This road is so long, my pain it's a song,
Just need a little rest, it won't be too long.
Under the oak tree, where shadows fall near,
Put my feet up high, breath easy, no fear.
Roll a little smoke, with this cup in my hand,
Thankful for the moment, it's a simple plan.
So here's to the journey, the long winding road,
With each passing moment, I'll carry the load,
But for now, under this oak, I find my release,
In the heart of the struggle, I'll discover my peace.
