Lyrics

The Ground Touches the Sky

He stood up and bared his breast to the world
His fist in place of his best
He sat down and cried his tears to the ground
He just watched the mud replace the dust

Nothing had changed
It stayed the same

There was one who made him feel the light
There was once wonder in his heart
There were two when he let it all come out
Before he knew that this love was doubt

Something was there
It was strange for him to care

And he smiled to think he was alone
And he was fooled
Because he thought he was his own
And he laughed his luck had all run dry
He never thought
That the ground could touch the sky

When love left he wasn't quite surprised
It made sense to not believe his eyes
There was one again to forge a path
It was a circle, the future was the past

It wasn't gone
No light was on

He laughed to think he'd ever win
He'd been schooled
To focus on his sins
And he smiled, he didn't need to cry
When he found out
That the ground could touch the sky

It takes a fall
To feel the summer breeze
It takes a crash
To float among the trees
He was old
As a kid to know the pain
And his youth
Came back to the old man

His soul wasn't tied to simple minds
And he loved, to know there were no lies
And he rose, the ashes in his smile
He knew the truth
Was that the ground touches the sky
The ground touches the sky
The ground touches the sky
