Strange how far you'll travel Hoping to belong Stretch out time and distance From a moment into a song Entertaining strangers With a feeling you can't shake About the nature of existence And the forms it takes But when you get it right There are no strangers There's only where you'll go and where you've been And the moment in between that's worth the living And the dying will be worth the time you spent
So don't forget your mother Heartsick on the phone Don't forget the years that she spent Half broke and alone And don't forget your sister On the Greyhound in the rain Don't forget your brothers And his awful growing pains Because when you get it right You're all together Having supper on a Friday night And everything you've lost don't seem to matter Cause everything you love Will be alright
