"Take Up Your Spade" lyrics

Sara Watkins Lyrics

"Take Up Your Spade"

Sun is up, a new day is before you
Sun is up, wake your sleepy soul
Sun is up, hold on to what is yours
Take up your spade and break ground

Shake off your shoes
Leave yesterday behind you
Shake off your shoes
But forget not where you've been
Shake off your shoes
Forgive and be forgiven
Take up your spade and break ground

Give thanks for all that you've been given
Give thanks for who you can become
Give thanks for each moment and every crumb
Take up your spade and break ground
Break ground, break ground, break ground
