Oxen

Ride into the dusty town

And find yourself a pair

Of oxen

That will take you where

I have called you

To go on down the line

If you tire

Take some fruit from the vine

I have tasked you

With more than you can bare

That’s why you’ll have to find a pair

Hitch ‘em up

See how they pull

The yoke is easy

But the burden will be full

You’ll find refuge

You’ll find strength

From the one beside you helpin’ to pull

The weight

One day you’ll be grateful for

The grassy valley

Clear bubbly water

For you to take a drink

But the beauty comes

When the road gets rocky

The river rises

And brings you to your knees

You’ll find refuge

You’ll find strength

From the one beside you helpin’ to pull

The weight

There’s strength in numbers

We can share the load

Look over your shoulder

And there you’ll find your hope

Her eyes tell me

There is no place we can’t go

Jump in the wagon

And head on down the road

You’ll find refuge

You’ll find strength

From the one beside you helpin’ to pull

The weight
