[Verse 1]

Generations wait

Like the river sways

For a father's blood

For a mother's love

Though not the promised land

Nor any perfect plan

Along our neutral path

There was a single lowered branch

[Verse 2]

What was flawless canvas-white

What was kindness in our eyes

Is now a blemished masterpiece

An astigmatism life

But let's cut right to the chase

To when the best of us was on display

Before we tipped the scale from confidence to doubt

I would hold you now, if only I knew how

[Bridge]

Concentration breaks

Under frivolous weight

If the right words exist

May they find our lips

[Verse 3]

Let's stay the course

And let the tension make us new

I don't know if it's virtue

No, I don't know if it's just dumb luck

Would it matter if it was?

What if we welcomed change in

If we opened up just enough to let it begin?

To let it begin?

[Outro]

"And the doors will open wide for you"

It was said just like it was the truth

If we walk right through
