Racing to get back home, pull back the reins, break the bit, Turn this course i've known Lost upon a windy sea, a tiny rudder holds the key This caravel is headed straight to Help me to break these words i can't take back I can't stay quiet I still stumble and fall. even if i'm forced to crawl Why should i apologize For holding onto what i know is true Water, it covers me, it salts the earth, it dries the sea Keep me under fire Can a tree change it's leaves, opposites from the same stream I think we all know it's impossible We praise and curse, but which one is worse I can't stay quiet Why should i apologize For holding onto what i know is true Consider this, that a forest so great Can be lost, can be set ablaze Just one spark can seal its fate Conceal the sky in a charcoal haze Only rain can douse the blaze Cleanse the earth from the mess we've made Soothe the wounds from a sharpened blade From the words we wished we'd saved Why should i apologize For holding onto what i know is true Only rain can douse the blaze Cleanse the earth from the mess we've made Soothe the wounds from a sharpened blade From the words we wished we'd saved
