Does the truth filter down through the ages?
Tell me what will we write on these pages?
And it's hard to clearly see what's right in ordinary light
We cannot see the end so here we must begin
Tell me what will we write on these pages?
You know me, lookin' out through boxes and cages
We cannot see the end so here we must begin
You know me, lookin' out through boxes and cages
You know me by the stories I have made
And it's hard to clearly see what's right in ordinary light
Changin' this old mountain into sand
Borders into empty space we write
Down through history we race across
Runnin' till our spirit's free at least
Breakin' like the ocean, washin' through my hands
Tell me what will we write on these pages?
We cannot see the end so here we must begin
Driven by emotion, pushing from the past
You know me by the stories I have made
Does the truth filter down through the ages?
Callin' when it's time for us to go
You know me, lookin' out through boxes and cages
We cannot see the end so here we must begin
Life's open road, showin' only what it wants to show
You know me by the stories I have made
Another heart may follow
A chapter, a fable, a line, a trace
And it's hard to clearly see what's right in ordinary light
Does the truth filter down through the ages?
