about

After my grandpa died, y aunt's friend had a dream in which they saw my grandpa walking through a field with a little boy. And he was telling this little boy how he had all this unfinished business that he couldn't attend to so he was gonna send this little boy back in his place. Sometime after this all went down, my parents had another son.
So apparently my brother is the reincarnation of my grandpa.

lyrics

The Farmer’s Apprentice
Walking through the fields at night, walking hand and hand
The Farmer and his apprentice
He said son listen closely; learn from my mistakes
I’ll teach you everything I learned to instill myself in you
[Chorus]
There’s work to be done I can’t finish
I’ve been forced to resign too young
Oh there’s work to be done I can’t finish
So I’m sending you boy in my place

Back along long time ago, many years ago
It would seem I’d wrote the book on success
But time has a way of bringing about change
A few stormy seasons with no insurance can put you in the red
[Chorus]
Listen to the winds of change rustl’n through the trees
If you’re stuck in your ways they’ll blow ya down
And don’t trust the lenders or anything that’s free
If it’s too good to be true then it’s probably not for you
[Chorus}
Look at these here hands if mine, they’re weathered and they’re worn
I worked them til the cancer took my head
And I expect you’ll do the same, work until you dig your grave
There’s no more time for idleness the harvest time is near
[Chorus}
