lyrics

a few good friends can keep you sane
and make you leave your house again
your words fit right into their ears

but the earth is broken wide
and you can step which way you like
I think you should take a step forward, gotta take a step forward

trees don't care about your plans
and the skies will never lend a hand
my legs only have me
and my hands only have me

I did not choose my name
how I look or how I lay
when you're standing on a rolling ball
it's hard to even walk at all

I read of bodies that used to build
fantastic wonders they fulfilled
and I know so much is beyond me
a warm embrace can be a wooden gate
an anchor is a friendly face
a step forward is a step away
a step forward is a step away
