lyrics

I went for a walk to a place that quiets my soul
Either it's not there anymore or I'd lost my way
But I know they reconfigure landscapes until they resemble home
So I pick a different sort of goal

What are we getting away with in a world running out of time
The same thing I'm afraid of that keeps me running around

A tower to the heavens, what a lofty idea
Wouldn't it be tragic if they'd told us they didn't want us near
So many times I've felt myself sinking down
So many chances to take your hand

I went for a walk, I was tired of fighting the good fight
I encountered a haven, I was led there by the light
Maybe once, Maybe twice, I can't recall
Something seemed familiar to me
