Everything is all brand new like a rose open
With it's face to the sun
People laugh and others cry as they're learning next to you
You're learning to be broken

It's a pity that some people never know
The joy of what is to let life go
If you never find your feet upon the waves
Then you'll never find the triumph that you crave

There's got to be more than dodging strife
Lift up your eyes to meet your life
Joy doesn't come when you know it all
You've got to be uncertain, and it's okay to fall

Lost and far from comfort, conflicting wants and dreams
No time to create
Live for now or plan for later?
Love this life or pray for better?
I feel so far away

It's a pity that some people never know
The joy of what is to let life go
If you never find your feet upon the waves
Then you'll never find the triumph that you crave

There's got to be more than dodging strife
Lift up your eyes to meet your life
Joy doesn't come when you know it all
You've got to be uncertain, and it's okay to fall
