lyrics

We were desperate for so many things
In a wilderness of misfortune
Windows cracked, we traveled the road
Ohh oh oh

We were homeless and we headed north
To a mining town in Michigan
Where the earth is cracked for promise
of ore…

Ishpeming
In the heart of the Upper Peninsula
Oh Ishpeming
Where the iron stains the rivers red
And Ishpeming
We buried our heart in the ground

We toiled through our suffering
Dynamite ash on our faces
The blister of winter covered us
so thin

Like fools, we made our pick axes out of gold
Like sinners we stood by the fire
But our bodies remained cold

And faith can be a fickle thing
In the clutch of desolation
But the lodestone holds our hopes and we raise them
on high

Ishpeming
In the heart of the Upper Peninsula
Oh Ishpeming
Where the iron stains the rivers red
And Ishpeming
We believe there will be better things
Oh Ishpeming
We buried our heart in the ground
