When you see that you're leaving   And you see that you're gone   And you see there's no saying   Goodbye      All the trees are in mourning   The light is late from the sun   Casting shadow on shadow   Now and from the sky      And it's hard not to want to turn around   It's hard not to want to back on down   We're only as strong as our hearts within   Only as strong      And all you know of where the road goes   Is someplace far and unknown   You would think you would have gotten   Used to it all by now      But each day just gets harder   Every journey alone   Never knowing if you'll make it   Back home somehow      And it's hard not to want to turn around   It's hard not to want to back on down   We're only as brave as we think we are   Only as brave      And it's hard not to want to turn it down   For some guaranteed soul-crushing merry-go-round   But it driven you straight into the ground   Driven you down      And the three greatest gifts of moving on   Are forgiveness, hope and the great beyond   After that perhaps peace can come   Peace will come      And you see that you're leaving   And you see that you're gone
