Fields of patience
Mountains of pain
Innocence fell from this runaway train
Planets of mercy
Great skies of hope
Send me an angel with a holy rope
Daydreams and wishes
Tarnish and rust
Truth is here somewhere, coughing up dust
Crawl through the madness
Climb up the cracks
Wisdom is speaking from the zodiac
Pull back the lens
On the earth’s great design
And I’m summer rain gently falling home
Leap from a star into the great unknown
Forgiveness is a high jump
And we’re falling home
Someone got a lawyer
Someone got a friend
Looks like we’re human
To the mortal end
I’ll take all the green trees
You can have the sun
If this land is our land
There’s some work to be done
Pull back the lens
On the earth’s great design
And I’m the autumn leaves, weightless, falling home
Race through the clouds
Past the gravity zone
Forgiveness is a swan dive
And we’re falling home, we’re falling home
We’re falling home
Yeah, yeah
Falling home, we’re falling home
We’re falling home
Yeah, yeah
Pull back the lens
On the earth’s great design
And I’m Aristotle waiting by the phone
Count the years we held the hurt inside
Forgiveness is a backflip
And we’re falling home, we’re falling home
We’re falling home
Yeah, yeah
Falling home, we’re falling home
We’re falling home
