lyrics

What is this
Is this my wilderness
Why do I feel alone
Among all these trees

Do I belong
Why does it feel so wrong
I don’t know where to turn
To stop this unease

Why must everything
Everything be unknown
While I am struggling
with the illusion of control

Whoa-oh! It’s just so hard
So very hard to let it go
But my arms are growing tired
So very tired of hanging on

The sun’s ablaze
Weaving its mocking rays
Through autumn’s changing leaves
That rustle with pain

Why does this seem
More like a restless dream
Than the reality
I battle in vain

Why must everything
Everything be unknown
While I am struggling
with the illusion of control

Whoa-oh! It’s just so hard
So very hard to let it go
But my arms are growing tired
So very tired of hanging on

Why must everything
Everything be unknown
While I am struggling
with the illusion of control

Whoa-oh! It’s just so hard
So very hard to let it go
But my arms are growing tired
So very tired of hanging on

So I release the leaves
And let the wind
Choose where to blow
