Ever since I was a child my dreams were like a scripture
I’d draw them out and trust that one day they’d be more than pictures
Like Brady said if I left I’d be the one guy
That was different and then nothing changed
Stories that appeared to me of love and fights for freedom
And the way that all the clouds would turn the sky into a ceiling
It was infinite, still I’ve always been so scared of leaving
But I had to go
If I should fall down
Under stars I can’t call out
Get me back to my home ground
Let me add to the weight of the woods
Tether my bones tight
In view of that coastline
And bury this soul of mine
Give it back to the weight of the woods
Never offered much except a song, a little safety
I never thought my luck would reach a point where you would take me
I always had this fear like the younger me would hate me
But it worked out fine
The devil’s got his teeth in me, it’s only happened lately
I’m working hard against it but sometimes it ain’t so easy
Oh, there’ll be a time I’ll have to make my peace with those who made me
I’ll be ready then
If I should fall down
Under stars I can’t call out
Get me back on my home ground
Let me add on the weight of the woods
Tether my bones tight
In view of that coastline
And bury this soul of mine
Give it back to the weight of the woods
Let me add to the weight of the woods
Give me back to the weight of the woods
Let me add to the weight of the woods
Give me back to the weight of the woods
If I should fall down
Under stars I can’t call out
Get me back to my home ground
Let me add to the weight of the woods
Tether my bones tight
In view of that coastline
And bury this soul of mine
Give it back to the weight of the woods
