Canyons carved out by oceans Beneath the light of a billion stars The old ones knew the truth about us Our purpose is to be just what we are Our purpose is to be just what we are Canyons carved out by notions Neanderthals wrestling with time Mountains of impassible proportions That only exist inside our minds That only exist inside our minds And the water it grows And it covers your soul And you know that it's all anybody can do Just to be who we are When the times they get hard And there's no where that's left to run to And the water it grows And the water it grows And it carves up the world Like it carves up the stone And the water it grows And the water it grows And it carved up the world Like it carved up the stone Carves up the world Like it carved out our bones Staring twenty years into the future Wondering if that's me that I see Wrinkles carved out by emotions Standing in water up to my knees Standing in water up to my knees And the water it grows And it covers your soul And you know that it's all anybody can do Just to be who we are When the times they get hard And there's no where that's left to run to And the water it grows And the water it grows And the water it grows And the water it grows And it carves up the world Like it carved up the stone
