Song of the Day: Wheelbarrow

This is a song that I wrote one day I was feeling very lonely and sore.
It is inspired by Cat Stevens, if you’ve heard of him. Enjoy.

Oh, I’m bein’ followed by a wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow
Leapin and hoppin’ on a wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, oh if…. I won’t have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, oh if…. I won’t have to cry no more.

‘Cause I’m bein’ followed by a wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow
Leapin and hoppin’ on a wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow

And if I ever lose my legs, I won’t moan, and I won’t beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, oh if…. I won’t have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, oh if…. I won’t have to talk…

I’m bein’ followed by a wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow
Leapin and hoppin’ on a wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow, wheelbarrow

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? and are you gonna stay the night?

It’s about the injustice of the world, I guess. Goes well with punk music.
