lyrics

The silence roared
the sun was high
the dirt was yellow red and blue

The boy looked down
at his shoes
the old boy looked down at his boy too

Said "while I got
you here with me
I've been meaning to tell you just a few things"
I've been meaning to tell you just a few things

Don't be fed up
don't be let down
keep your head in the sky and your feet on the ground

Let everyone in
to see what you've got
then give it all up just give it all back

Get yourself a job
and make sure you love it
become your own boss and tell yourself to shove it

Then grow your hair long
then cut it all off
wrestle with your demons and beware of your thoughts

Then trash your first car
but walk safely away
remember your heart is not your first car
remember your heart is not your first car

As long as the light
will fade into black
it will it will it will grow back...
