lyrics

hey, oh
watch your feet don't run
watch your feet don't run
home

find you
fear don't fear no fate
no fear don't find no fate no
roam

but careful which way you go
don't travel too far from home

I've seen you
tiger in the night
eyes a-blazing bright
ghost

tireless truth
faith to conquer fear
love to bring you near
hope

but careful which way you go
don't travel too far from home

into the valley of the green
where silken leaves caress your cheeks
and sweep away the bitter dreams
that lead you to despair

all around the world is green
blocked by simple smoking screens
that feed us on the frenzied scene
of always wanting more

so let us now both you and I
blow through smoke into the sky
and open up our failing eyes
to recognize the green

green of laughter
green of love
green of wonderment
and trust
let us stand now
at the cusp
and jump
into the light
