Lyrics
I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
In trying to find the words which might begin it
I found these were the thoughts I brought along

At first I took my weight to be an anchor
I gathered up my fears to bind me down
But when I clearly saw my own delusion
And found my struggles further bogged me down.

In starting out I thought to go exploring
And set me foot upon the nearest road
In vain I looked to find the promised turning
But only saw how far I was from home.

In searching I forsook, the paths of learning
And thought instead to find some pirates gold
In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me
But still no hidden truths could I unfold.

I sat me down to write a simple story
Which maybe in the end became a song
The words have all been writ by one before me
We’re taking turns in trying to pass them on
We’re taking turns in trying to pass them on.
