Lyrics

I wanna get away
I know I can make it there
A place the stars align
Along the crimson line
A home where I belong
Somewhere that's not here
A place I can be me
Where I can grow a tree
There's a past I won't forget
The lessons to recall
But the future's where I look
Despite the pain it took
To reach this state of mind
Where I am not confined
Finding myself at last
Not imprisoned by the past

Your journey's just begun
Backlit by the rising sun
I know your tree can grow
If you shed the status quo
Don't you dare give up now
Even if you don't know how to live
Your future's in your hands
I know you have the strength to stand

I'll fertilize the soil
Fix this state of disarray
One day it will stand tall
And strong despite it all
But we still have far
To grow before it's ready
To self-sustain and be
The stability I need
I'll nurture it with care
Protect it from the parasites
That would stunt it's growth and be
The slow death of me
At times I fear that I
Will never make it after all
I won't know unless I try
I can't let this hope die

Your journey's just begun
Backlit by the rising sun
I know your tree can grow
If you shed the status quo
Don't you dare give up now
Even if you don't know how to live
Your future's in your hands
I know you have the strength to stand

I wish I could cry
I feel so alone
No matter how hard I tired
It didn't grow
The branches droop
Leaves wither away
The winter chill is here
The end has come today

Spring comes in it's time
Leaves return to green
We were never dead
We are warm again
And through its growth is slow
It's taller than it was
In time it will be
The mightiest of trees

Your journey's just begun
Backlit by the rising sun
I know your tree can grow
If you shed the status quo
Don't you dare give up now
Even if you don't know how to live
Your future's in your hands
I know you have the strength to stand
I know you have the strength to stand
I know you have the strength to stand

Sometimes hope is all you have. Sometimes even less. It's in times when hope seems scarce that it must be reached for the hardest. How else can it be regained?
