My father’s father broke this ground
 Daddy mined till we laid him down
 Only God knows what they found beneath
 Now here I stand in my own boots
 Ax to grind and a point to prove
 Tangled up in my own roots, it seems
 
 I got treasure up in Heaven
 I got dirt all over me
 I have only scratched the surface
 Of the man I’m meant to be
 I got something down inside of me
 That only You can see
 Help me dig a little deeper now
 And set that diamond free
 
 Why do I do the things I do
 All the things that I don’t want to
 Act like I don’t fear You at all
 Hard head and a heart of stone
 Older now but I haven’t grown
 Any riches that I have to show are small
 
 Set it free
 Set it free
 Set it free
 Set it free
 
 Come down with your old flashlight
 Underground, black as night
 No telling what you’re gonna find in me
