LYRICS
Rock a bye Tree Top Baby ~ The wind will surely blow
Mind the Bough that breaks ~ and the route it takes
Crashing through your soul

It's tough to get past the past ~ When it drags you back to play
Sick charades of yesterday ~ And here I am again
Riding on rims, dodging the limbs ~ Feeling the Fear
Never thought I'd still be here ~ This far down the road
Never thought I'd still be here ~ This far down the road

Tick-a-Tock Tree Top Baby ~ The clock chimes time to grow
Find the "How." Awake! ~ No matter how it aches
Time to be made whole

Though it's tough to get past the past ~ When it drags you back to play
Sick charades of yesterday ~ And here I am again
Riding on rims, dodging the limbs ~ Feeling the Fear
Never thought I'd still be here ~ This Far Down The Road

Tehilim/Psalms 34:18, "The LORD is near to the shattered hearted and saves the contrite in spirit."
Tehilim/Psalms 27:10-11, "When my father and my mother have forsaken me, then the LORD will gather me up. Teach me Your Way Oh LORD."
Tehilim/Psalms 17:8, "Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings."

Though I've come a long, long way
Yes, I've come a long, long way
There's still a few tough miles to go
And it warms my heart to know
There'll be two shadows on that road
There'll be two shadows on that road.
