Tomlinson Michael - Rocks And Water lyrics

In the world I knew where I grew up I strayed off on my own too much I watched those children running in the distance Oh the things I dreamed in prairie dust The Texas wind blew off in gusts The Melodies called down for me to listen They said "You need to feel the rain" Well I watched that sunrise many days And look out on the golden plains Something told me, son there are no limits Well I held that memory close to me I always dreamed that I'd be free I never knew how long it'd take to get there "You need to hold your faith" But now I know you, you know me So tell me what are we doing not living free We're never given love to hold us back But no, it's even more than that We've got to treat each other with respect Focus all the love that we have left Just a fragment of the whole, I know But it is possible to take it all away In an older time when I awoke Boyhood dreams were all in smoke Had I not even noticed what was missing? Well I let this living make me hard And then I learned to stay on guard The Melodies cried down for me to listen They said "You need to know the rocks and the water You need to lay in those leaves You need to feel the swaying seas You need to feel the touch of a lover You need to know her needs You need to set your real love free" But now I know you, you know me So tell me what are we doing not living free We're never given love to hold us back But no, it's even more than that We've got to treat each other with respect Focus all the love that we have left Just a fragment of the whole, I know But it is possible to take it all away I believe that it's possible to take it all the way In the world I knew where I grew up I strayed off on my own too much
