Wailin' Jennys - Things That You Know lyrics

It's been a long time since you saw your home Even those you call the closest Have slipped away somehow Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road With so many miles behind you You'd think you'd have left this world by now You've seen more than they could ever know No matter what they say You've earned the right to be so bold But this life it takes its toll on you Every face around you looks so tired and so old And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you've had to go Where you've had to go Maybe soon you'll find a place To call your own To call your home You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes 'Til your legs could walk no further And your tired soles would burn You know there's peace somewhere around the bend It's been a long time coming And you're ready for your turn And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you've had to go Where you've had to go Maybe soon you'll find a place To call your own To call your home
