We tried to take off on time because we care
The animals were awfully kind to lead us there
They felt us near, the way was clear
Even when you think you know where you belong
How can you expect to grow when you stay home
Your feet are gold, get off the road
We saw a cloud of grey smoke rising from your yard
The world has got the strangest ways to work things out
And our hearts will never be the same
I wonder why I came but I did
And the things we thought we'd never see
We look up to the trees while they speak
I'm right where you are
I don't need much more, for now
And our hearts will never be the same
I wonder why I came but I did
And the things we thought we'd never see
We look up to the trees while they speak
