I tried to stand tall
Where only the oldest redwoods see
I've tried to be bold
Like only the rivers run
Destiny is just a frame of mind
A comforting lie
Like putting something in a museum
To make it somehow more real
I tried to keep steady
Cool like the rockies in fall
I've tried to have grace
Dance like the lightning bugs, flash and fall
My sails are torn
And my rudder's stuck to one side
My shoes are worn
And my engine has died
Staying still has shown me how far I can see
Staying still has shown me how far I can see
Staying put has shown me how deep I can breathe
Staying put has shown me how deep I can breathe
