Destiny Lie

I tried to stand tall Where only the oldest redwoods see I've tried to be bold Like only the rivers run Destiny is just a frame of mind A comforting lie Like putting something in a museum To make it somehow more real I tried to keep steady Cool like the rockies in fall I've tried to have grace Dance like the lightning bugs, flash and fall My sails are torn And my rudder's stuck to one side My shoes are worn And my engine has died Staying still has shown me how far I can see Staying still has shown me how far I can see Staying put has shown me how deep I can breathe Staying put has shown me how deep I can breathe
