I was running down the road
The fear was all I knew
I was looking for a soul that's real
Then I ran into you
And that cherry blossom tree
Was a gateway to the sun
Friendship, once it's won
It's won, it's won

Oh, Northside just across the river from the Southside
That's a long way here
All the green and all of the gold
The hurt you hide and the joy you hold
The foolish pride that gets you out the door
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road

Sleepwalking down the street
I'm not waking from these dreams
They're never dead in my head
It was a war zone in my teens
And I'm still standing on that street
Still need an enemy
Thе worst ones I can't see
But you can, you can

Oh, Northside just across the rivеr from the Southside
And that's a long way here
All the green and all of the gold
The hurt you hide and the joy you hold
Foolish pride sends you back for more
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood Road

If the door isn't open is it theft?
Cannot return to where you'd never left
Blossoms falling from a tree
They cover you and cover me
Symbols clash, Bibles smash
You paint the world you need to see
And sometimes fear's the only place we can call our home
Cedarwood Road

And a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
And a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
