Rocks And Water Lyrics

Rocks And Water lyrics

In the world I knew where I grew up
I strayed off on my own too much
I
watched those children running in the distance
Oh the things I dreamed in
prairie dust
The Texas wind blew off in gusts
The Melodies called down
for me to listen
They said
"You need to feel the rain"
Well I watched
that sunrise many days
And look out on the golden plains
Something told
me, son there are no limits
Well I held that memory close to me
I always
dreamed that I'd be free
I never knew how long it'd take to get
there
"You need to hold your faith"
But now I know you, you know me
So
tell me what are we doing not living free
We're never given love to hold us
back
But no, it's even more than that
We've got to treat each other with
respect
Focus all the love that we have left
Just a fragment of the
whole, I know
But it is possible to take it all away
In an older time
when I awoke
Boyhood dreams were all in smoke
Had I not even noticed what
was missing?
Well I let this living make me hard
And then I learned to
stay on guard
The Melodies cried down for me to listen
They said
"You
need to know the rocks and the water
You need to lay in those leaves
You
need to feel the swaying seas
You need to feel the touch of a lover
You
need to know her needs
You need to set your real love free"
But now I
know you, you know me
So tell me what are we doing not living free
We're
never given love to hold us back
But no, it's even more than that
We've
got to treat each other with respect
Focus all the love that we have
left
Just a fragment of the whole, I know
But it is possible to take it
all away
I believe that it's possible to take it all the way
In the world
I knew where I grew up
I strayed off on my own too much
