The woods are so bare, the woods are so bare these days
I found my heart there, I found my heart in that place
And all the birds sing, they all sing in different ways
But all the same song, the woods are so bare these days
And I thought I heard the flow of the river
But the water had no one to call
And when it got to the end of the path that it carved
It found that there was nothing there at all
Nothing there at all
The woods are so wide, the woods are so wide out here
But don’t you run off and hide, just stay by my side my dear
The world is so vast, and it’s never been half this clear
I’m finding my path, but the woods are so wide out here
And I thought I saw the river running by me
But the water had nowhere to go
And when it got to the end of the path that it carved
It found a drop at the end of the road
The end of the road
It’s not about how fast you can run, it’s about what’s been given so you can
It’s not about the edge that you’re on, it’s about where you’re going when you land
It’s not about the banks you’re confined in, it’s about spilling over the walls
It’s not about the way that you’re winding, it’s about the waterfall
