lyrics

I walked so far I wore these holes in my boots, the trail of mud that leads me back to my roots, it never washes away. I tried so hard to run away from my past, the places changed but the memories lasted. So many whispering ghosts – they followed me, coast to coast.

My soul is not a well, though you couldn’t even tell,
it’s just become a static pond filled to the brim with tears,
and forty-seven thousand fears that I can’t move beyond.
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned as far as living is concerned,
knowing right from wrong really doesn’t get you very far –
it won’t matter what you do if you can’t remember who you are.

I’m just an educated swirl of dust, but I’m not just the pieces yes I’m more than rust, but
oh I wish I couldn’t see that my past is my present cause it brought me here, so I can’t turn my back or run away in fear. I’ll find my peace in the breeze – it’s the breath of the Spirit, She’s still calling me.

My soul is not well, though you couldn’t even tell,
it’s just become a static pond filled to the brim with tears,
and forty-seven thousand fears that I can’t move beyond.
But there’s one thing that I’ve learned as far as living is concerned,
knowing right from wrong really doesn’t get you very far –
it won’t matter what you do if you can’t remember who you are.
