Before I Leave
Will time hold us hostage?
Prisoners and strangers
Lacking the knowledge to build up a bridge or two
Between our different shoes
Will I teach you language?
Tongues of distant family
Trying their best to reach
Into your stuttered speech
Revealing the answers you seek
Listen closely
I don't have the answers to your story
I'll try my best to pave the way
So your footsteps will never go astray
I'll carry all the weight for you
For you it's not so heavy
Hold it steady
Will you take a breath for me?
You're not perfect but you're ready
Tell me honestly
Before I leave
Are these words I'm speaking getting lost in transit?
Tell me we're just the same, despite my elder age
Sharing the ink on the page
Listen closely
I don't have the answers to your story
I'll try my best to pave the way
So your footsteps will never go astray
I'll carry all the weight for you
For you it's not so heavy
Hold it steady
Will you take a breath for me?
You're not perfect but you're ready
Tell me honestly
Before I leave
I'll carry all the weight for you
For you it's not so heavy
Hold it steady
Will you take a breath for me?
You're not perfect but you're ready
Tell me honestly
Before I leave
Prisoners and strangers
Lacking the knowledge to build up a bridge or two
Between our different shoes
Will I teach you language?
Tongues of distant family
Trying their best to reach
Into your stuttered speech
Revealing the answers you seek
Listen closely
I don't have the answers to your story
I'll try my best to pave the way
So your footsteps will never go astray
I'll carry all the weight for you
For you it's not so heavy
Hold it steady
Will you take a breath for me?
You're not perfect but you're ready
Tell me honestly
Before I leave
Are these words I'm speaking getting lost in transit?
Tell me we're just the same, despite my elder age
Sharing the ink on the page
Listen closely
I don't have the answers to your story
I'll try my best to pave the way
So your footsteps will never go astray
I'll carry all the weight for you
For you it's not so heavy
Hold it steady
Will you take a breath for me?
You're not perfect but you're ready
Tell me honestly
Before I leave
I'll carry all the weight for you
For you it's not so heavy
Hold it steady
Will you take a breath for me?
You're not perfect but you're ready
Tell me honestly
Before I leave
