Twenty-five years on the farm
Will drain the strength out of
Every loud, shrill false alarm
Near drowned out by love.
Through years of hot, dry winds, and through
Years of steady rain,
Fortune has been good to you
In reaping what remains.
For you have kept your first love true
Through much hard work and pain,
Here now to choose again.
