lyrics
I am faced with a forked path and a crippling choice
One treads through the woods with the mighty oak
The other flows through the folds of the flatlands and the seas of grain
I could stay my course or stand alone
On the plains I will be seen
The birds will flock to me
But I have always known
The woods are where the tallest trees are grown
I was born with this tug-a-war inside of me
I felt the pull of what could come to be
My feet are loose, my legs are strong and all for vanishing
An old world faith that ups and follows dreams
[Chorus]
This is how it is, it’s one or it’s the other one I fear
So hold me here
[Chorus]
One treads through the woods with the mighty oak
The other flows through the folds of the flatlands and the seas of grain
I could stay my course or stand alone
On the plains I will be seen
The birds will flock to me
But I have always known
The woods are where the tallest trees are grown
I was born with this tug-a-war inside of me
I felt the pull of what could come to be
My feet are loose, my legs are strong and all for vanishing
An old world faith that ups and follows dreams
[Chorus]
This is how it is, it’s one or it’s the other one I fear
So hold me here
[Chorus]
