Another day in the hole
I feel my lungs fill up with coal
I go to work, I go to bed
That's what I do to keep you fed
That's what my father did for me
When you're older, you will see
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
The heart of me is in this town
The heart of that is in the ground
Eighteen men were in this hole
But God only wants a dozen souls
To gather prayers and set them down
I'll say these words until I'm found
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
And know that I did all I could
To save the others, like Christians should
So maybe it's just my time
Walk tall, hold your head up high
But for now...
All I need is to wake up
All I need is to wake up
