lyrics

This is the longest drought we’ve had in a hundred years
Friends, I have built a storehouse twice as tall as His

Bring me your plowshares beaten into swords
And I’ll make you wealthy men
There is a Thief who’s coming in the night
To take your things

But I’ll protect your homes
And I’ll protect your gold

You’ve had a meager year; your family is looking thin
I am a generous man; just take what you need to live

Maybe the Lord your God will send the rains
To help you get ahead
I am a generous man just pay me back
Whenever you can

I’ll protect your homes
I’ll protect your gold
I’ll protect your homes
I’ll collect your gold,
Collect your gold

Your storehouse is filling up,
You’ll need a strong man
A strong man
The Thief in the night will come,
You’ll need a strong man
A strong man like me
