Verse 1: In the mine I've been digging all my life In the ground where the sun never shines In the tunnels where the darkness reigns I've been searching for a trace of light The first verse talks about a person who has been digging in a mine for their entire life. They are searching for something that they haven't been able to find yet. The darkness around them is all they know, but they still haven't given up hope of finding a trace of light. Chorus: In the mine, I've found a home In the mine, I'm not alone In the mine, I've lost my way But in the mine, I'll always stay The chorus talks about how the mine has become the person's home. They don't feel alone in the mine because it's the only place they've ever known. However, they have lost their way and direction in life, but they'll always stay in the mine. Verse 2: I've been digging till my hands are sore I've been searching for something more But all I find is coal and stone And the sound of my breathing alone The second verse talks about how the person has been digging until their hands hurt. They're still searching for something more, but all they find is coal and stones. The only sound they hear is their breathing, which is the only company they have in the mine. Bridge: And I know the world outside is bright But to me, it's just a blinding light So I'll dig until the end of time Or until I find what's mine The bridge states that although the world outside may be bright and beautiful, it is blinding to the person who has only known the darkness of the mine. They'll keep digging until they find what belongs to them, or until the end of time. Outro: In the mine, I'll find my peace In the mine, my soul release In the mine, I'll rest my bones In the mine, I'll find my home The outro concludes the song and talks about how the mine is where the person will find their peace and let their soul be free. They'll rest their bones there and find their home in the mine.
