Lyrics

When I was young my father
said that I was a dreamer
and dreamers need to go out into the world.
I took my line, walked down to the river,
there I casted out, caught it on a stone.

For life is not what they tell you.
It’s what you figure out on your own.


When I was seventeen
I thought that love would save me.
I would find someone, together become whole.
When all the love had come and gone
and I felt empty
a vision came to me one night all alone.

For life is not what they tell you.
It’s what you figure out on your own.


Go follow the moon
and wait for the sun to shine in your life.
It can’t be the truth
that love will never shine in your life.

The autumn leaves
have taught me much about living.
It’s alright to change your color
and leave the tree.
This winding road is my life, my beginning.
Where it takes me, I want you to be.

For life is not what they tell you.
It’s what you figure out on your own.
