about

About role models, and he transition between having them and becoming one.

lyrics

I've been saying for a while
if love and greed would only rhyme
I'd be set to write a song or two

If I were worth my wait in time
Or fell into the bottom line
that'd probably help me bank another few

But as it is, I'm feeling tough
My passions, they don't help me much
if I could shine my vision on the land

you'd know my corners pretty rough
but I've softened the important stuff
the gentle side-effect you've always had

But someday we'll be taught in textbooks
And make our way across the molding
Minds of everyone alive
But we still rely on heights


I climbed that old tree in the yard
in its roots I kept my heart
so it might grow, and I could reach new heights

I never did quite reach the top
the furthest branch couldn't keep me up
though I was brave, I wasn't meant for flight

I asked my dad if that tree would die
and I can't forget his one reply:
"son, you'll be dead and gone before it falls"

but now I stand on what remains the
embers not unlike a grave and
wonder if I'll ever feel that tall

But someday we'll be taught in textbooks
And make our way across the molding
Minds of everyone alive
But we still rely on heights

But someday we'll be taught in textbooks
And make our way across the molding
Minds of everyone alive
But we still rely on heights
