Racing to get back home, pull back the reins, break the bit, <br />
Turn this course I've known<br />
Lost upon a windy sea, a tiny rudder holds the key<br />
This caravel is headed straight to<br />
Help me to break these words I can't take back<br />
I can't stay quiet<br />
<br />
I still stumble and fall. even if I'm forced to crawl<br />
<br />
Why should I apologize<br />
For holding onto what I know is true<br />
<br />
Water, it covers me, it salts the earth, it dries the sea<br />
Keep me under fire<br />
Can a tree change it's leaves, opposites from the same stream<br />
I think we all know it's impossible<br />
We praise and curse, but which one is worse<br />
I can't stay quiet<br />
<br />
Why should I apologize<br />
For holding onto what I know is true<br />
<br />
Consider this, that a forest so great<br />
Can be lost, can be set ablaze<br />
Just one spark can seal it's fate<br />
Conceal the sky in a charcoal haze<br />
Only rain can douse the blaze<br />
Cleanse the earth from the mess we've made<br />
Soothe the wounds from a sharpened blade<br />
From the words we wished we'd saved<br />
<br />
