Shut the old mill down

So many good jobs went south

They put a prison in it's place

So many good lives contained

Oh, have you seen them all?

Rising for the altar call

Taste of heaven, taste of hell

When they're never gonna make it out

They're never gonna make it out

You are my brother

This much I know

I wanna let your goodness show

You are my sister

As I have seen

I wanna let your goodness breathe

You are my family

Although I've fought

You gave me all the good I've got

So I built an altar unto itself

You're never gonna let me out

You're never gonna let me out

I got some good plans of my own

Set off to watch my future grow

Like a good weed that I let

Take over my garden plants

Until one day I dug it up

Washed my hands and shaved and cussed

And it was then that I felt

Your goodness is my only help

Your goodness is my only help

So when I die

Will you dig my grave?

The only place I want to lay

Is right by you in the shade

A million nights, a million days

But there's a lifetime in between

I wanna set my goodness free

I feel my nature but it goes away

I will not keep, I will not stay

I will not keep I will not stay

Yes I've hoped for things unseen

Yes I've hoped for things unseen

Yes I've unsure of so many things

Unsure of so many things

I will not keep, I will not stay

I will not keep, I will not stay

Oh, goodness, won't you come my way

Another place, another day

Well, yes I know that I've loved this world

Yes I know I've loved this world

And yes I know that I've loved this world

Yes I know I've loved this world

And yes I know that I've loved this place

Yes I've know I've loved this place

And yes I know that I've loved your face

Oh, goodness, won't you come my way

Oh, goodness, don't you fade away

Goodness don't you fade away

I will not keep, I will not stay

Goodness, don't you fade away

Oh, goodness, don't you fade away

My only goodness, don't you fade away

My only goodness, don't you fade away
