The Backbone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the water
That washed my tiny fingers
A long time ago
This is the wisdom
My younger heart believed in
A long time ago
Now I see
This is not the real world
Now I see
We're far behind
Now I see
The road is even longer
Now I see
The troubles that I faced
Are replaced with lack of words
Places I loved before
Now filled with big buildings
I see these walls
In black and white
They steal my thoughts
And make me forget things
All I ever wanted was to know
To understand
Now I see
This is not the real world
Now I see
We're far behind
Now I see
The road is even longer
Now I see
The troubles that I faced
Are replaced with lack of words
Look away
The place you love
Is never coming back
All I ever wanted was to know
To understand
