As I Am

As the sun beats down my neck
 My forehead beads up in sweat
 And the earth that I till won't conceive
 I go about my day
 Knowing all will pass away
 And the end I will remain just as I am
 Yet and still I'm holding on to you
 It happens all the time
 In the smoke rings of my mind
 I am famished in this field where I stand
 Even with all of the stress
 You're my love and happiness
 But in the end, I will remain just as I am
 Yet and still I'm holding on to you
 With nothing left to do but receive
 How am I supposed to make it through
 When the reason for my work you don't believe
 It happens all the time
 In the smoke rings of my mind
 I am famished in this field where I stand
 Even with all of the stress
 You're my love and happiness
 But in the end, I will remain just as I am
 Yet and still I'm holding on to you
 With nothing left to do but receive
 How am I supposed to make it through
 When the reason for my work you don't believe
