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
