Barren Land

Drowning in the waterless sand
Where empty words talk of empty plans
We gathered our coins and put them in a jar
That shattered as we shook
The books from the shelf
With hopes written down
Oh they’ve been burned
And blown to the wind
But how I learned to start again
How to run longer than I thought I could
How to see farther than the tree line
And you have stood on the countryside
With no idea of paradise
This barren land was all you had
This barren land was all you had
Traveling on solid ground
Hoping your feet land on something
That won’t break you down
Well each step comes from one of two things
The good wolf or the bad wolf
Which ever you feed
Well we are known to be indecisive
And my bones they split in opposite ways
We are known to share
But one won’t eat the other
If you starve the wolf who really truly cares
How to run longer than
They thought they could
How to see farther than the tree line
You have stood on the countryside
With no idea of paradise
This barren land was all you had
This barren land was all you had
All you had
But you will see farther than the tree line
You will run longer than
You thought you could
You will see farther than the tree line
You have stood on the countryside
With no idea of paradise
This barren land is not all you have
This barren land is not all you have
This barren land is not all
It’s not all you have
