(Verse 1)
The clouds have blocked the stars.
Can’t find the way back home.
There’s no sign of north
And nowhere else to roam.
But I have three chords
And all these fucking sticks.
I’ll make myself at home
with this easy fix.
(Chorus)
Take all of your problems and wild desires,
throw them into the pit of this camp fire.
When the fire dies, you can move along.
Wipe away the ashes and sing this song.
(Verse 2)
The trees have shown their age.
Outside they’re worn thin.
Inside there lies strength
And even thicker skin.
I could learn from them
How to stand my ground.
And with the slightest fall
I’ll make the biggest sound.
(Chorus X2)
(Instrumental)
(Chorus X2)
(Outro)
The stars won’t lead you home
But they can help you dream.
So make your own path
And follow your own gleam.
