Verse 1
Guitar on my back,
I walked down the road.
Drinking away the autumn cold,
Trying to forget my hurting soul.
My legs like lead,
But I pushed on.
A lonely trail,
but it lead to dawn
When I heard a voice that eased my bones,
But it turned out to be...
Chorus
Just a magpie in a tree,
just my shadow in the street,
But something said keep going,
You'll find a place worth knowing.
Verse 2
My home I up and left behind.
That boy a still frame in my mind,
Everywhere I turned I saw his face.
So I packed my things, said my goodbyes.
My roots remain, but I cut my ties,
Something told me I just had to go,
But it turned out to be...
Chorus 2
Just the rustlin' of the leaves,
just a passing evening breeze,
But something said get going,
You'll find a place worth knowing.
Bridge
Oh I don't know where I'm bound,
But I've become
A rambler and a vagabond,
But something tells me that's okay.
We were not all meant to stay
in one place, in one place...
Chorus 3
Like the rustlin' of the leaves,
like the passing evening breeze,
Something says keep going,
You'll be a face worth knowing.

Mountains and the Sea

It’s time to take those city lights and bars and restaurants in mind,
'cause I'm leaving them all behind.
And don’t let it fill my heart, or let it fill my mind.
To leave it all behind.
‘Cause oh, I’m alive
And oh, I’m alright.
I’m not alone
I’ve got what I need,
In a family of redwood trees,
mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea.
I don’t miss tall buildings or concrete,
I look up to redwood trees,
Mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea.
Hey, everybody has their people and their place.
That gives them what they need.
Here, I find myself so cradled by the green
And how I sway and flow with the sea.
And oh, now I see.
Oh, now I see.
I’m not alone
I’ve got what I need,
In a family of redwood trees,
mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea.
I don’t miss tall buildings or concrete,
I look up to redwood trees,
Mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea.
Oh, it hasn’t been long.
But oh, it feels like home.
I’m not alone
I’ve got what I need,
In a family of redwood trees,
mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea.
I don’t miss tall buildings or concrete,
I look up to redwood trees,
Mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea,
Mountains and the sea, mountains and the sea.

Dream

Dream loud, don’t stop,
But don’t waste the morning.
Sing out, don’t hesitate,
The night comes without warning.
And we all reach up, but some of us
Have to start out lower.
Oh life can be a breeze,
Or a fight to keep your head above water.
(Oooh) growing up shouldn’t mean
(Oooh) Giving up, always dream, always dream.
Young hearts, their world’s just begun, so full of laughter
No bullet should be the end of the early dreams they’re after
And we can’t pray away the bad from coming
All we can do is breathe and just keep on going
(Oooh) growing up shouldn’t mean
(Oooh) Giving up, always dream, always dream.
Trees bloom, birds sing, things keep on moving
Resilience, nature seems to be ever proving
And from far away, when the picture’s big, it’s all so lovely
So open your eyes, and feel the kiss of one more morning
(Oooh) growing up shouldn’t mean
(Oooh) Giving up, always dream, yeah dream.
