We searched long enough for the right words 



Because you can only hold your breath for so long 



Until it's gone 

I see a shadow far away in the distance 



I see a target where we are aiming 



And when I consider all that we have learned 



All these experiences 



I know the roots will go down to the bottom 



If we walk in a sense of wonder 



Or if we are in a time of reason 



We can recall these days 



Investigating dread and dreams 

We searched long enough for the right words 



Because you can only hold your breath for so long 



Until it's gone 

Pressing my feet on to the ground 



I know that I'm here in these words like weeds 



After all is said, aren't we here for something true 



I throw my hands into the air and I will not be broken 



Even though I may bend like a reed in the wind 

We searched long enough for the right words 



Because you can only hold your breath for so long 



Until it's gone 

We will know what to say 



We will know each step to take 



From what we've learned 



Investigating each dread and dream 



Each dread 



Each dream 



This tread, these dreams 



We will not be broken 



Though we may bend like a reed in the wind
