When we set out on the road   I said "Boys, we're heading west   We will walk under this sun until it sets"   We had the best intentions   And the road was straight and true   We promised that we'd follow it to you      With our shadows growing longer   We picked up our pace   Knowing if we rested, we would rust   As the cold crept up our backs   Under the last remaining rays   We never stopped to think who we could trust      And when the night came to the highway   The horizon turned black from blue   Oh, Mother Nature, where are you going?   Can we go too?   We're longing to be safe   Safe in your arms   Can we be safe in your arms again?      We poisoned all the ghosts   We poisoned all the rivers   We burned away the last light of the day   When we finally hit the coast   We had nothing to deliver   And there was nothing there that we could take away      Where would we be without you?   How will we make it through?   Follow Mother Nature, wherever she's going   You must go too   She's longing to be safe   Safe in your arms   Can she be safe in your arms again
