lyrics

Oh good traveler take heart
As you endure this endless climb
Through a country full of peace
In which you may have no part

I will not tell you to be kind
You are a master of the art
Of tending to the broken branch
And the bitter vine

Oh creation
I was young
How could I know
What I'd done

Once I knew the grand design
I knew it all in whole and part
But when I tried to speak
Every word became a lie

So to the jagged earth I fell
I left my pretenses on high
I slept a thousand years
And somehow I still don't feel well

Oh creation
I was young
How could I know
What I'd done
All these works that
I made to stand
Must come down now
By my hand

And those who fly upon the wing
Or drag their bellies over stone
Learn to navigate the places
They were never shown

And I remain here wondering
Whether you are wandering home
