Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers - The Journey lyrics

[Verse 1] In the night while in his room Forest grew, and grew, and grew Tender newbial, shoots of pine The leafy arms and mountain dew [Verse 2] Grasping woody hands they weave A newborn forests canopy Fragile saplings stretching out They catch the sunlight carefully [Verse 3] Look the trees grow taller now The leaves are holding back the sky Scamper through the woods young man Your little legs are young and sprite [Interlude] [Verse 4] There among the rotting leaves A quietly excited stream Though you may not trust your eyes You should now, this is not a dream [Verse 5] Let the running water be your compa** Be your northern star You're old enough to know now That without a guide, you won't go far [Verse 6] Up ahead, between the trunks A glimpse of surf and sand and wave Towering rocks that catch the splash Of cold and careless ocean spray [Verse 7] Taste the subtle salts that ride A worn and weary ocean breeze The boy a**umes a sailors face And makes his way out of the trees [Interlude] [Verse 8] There's the beach! And there's the boat! A weathered pile of wood and nail Broken planks to serve as oars And case the fickle winds, shevail [Pre-Chorus] So grab the rud- and tether See the sea before you Trim the tattered sails Let the waves adore you [Chorus] Grab the tether Sea the sea before you Trim the sails Let the waves adore you [Interlude] [Chorus] x5 Grab the tether See the sea before you Trim the sails Let the waves adore you
