lyrics

All the way home she wanted to be strong
Eyes on the road & ears inside
her favourite songs
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
It’s a drive in on Saturday
Sometimes you got to look back to move on

She gathers stars like wishes in her hand
Washes with tears as water on a barren land
Then she’s Singing in the Rain
When the World Knows Your Name
Only the wild see the promised land!

And one day when her heroes know her name
And tell their children to do the same
All of those crazy break-me-down games
Will go down in flames
When only the truth remains

She turns the key but leaves the lights cold
Heals in the dark, befriending the unknown

But Someday My Prince Will Come
Someday We Will Overcome
Someday we all might be someone

So here’s to the wanderings that show where we belong
Here’s to the insults that tell us to be strong
Here’s to the bad things that happen to good guys
All the hard landings that tell us to fly
Here’s to bruises that piece our resistance
Here’s to the distance
And the finishing line
