From Where I Stand Lyrics

The winds have settled down

I stop and look around

All I can see now is so different from how I've seen it before

It certainly don't look that bad

From this point of view

Nothing is like it was before

Nothing is like it was

A quiet hill on roaring land

A winding path unwalked

Born from the ashes on the ground beneath my feet

I take a breath

Inhale the scent of wilderness

It might take some time till the fog lifts and reveals a view

That puts into perspective some formerly uncomfortable truths

Still I don't want things to turn back into what they used to be

Would you force a flower back into its seed

It's almost an art not to dismiss to quickly

All the past selves I'm not fond of exactly

Spent some time pulling up weeds not aware

What narrative that feeds

Leaving my garden to grow wildly

Is something that took practice

To be doing lightly

Outgrown traits also played their part

In everything that's yet to start

It might take some time till the fog lifts and reveals a view

That puts into perspective some formerly uncomfortable truths

But when it does, there's room enough to recognize

We should be able to close a chapter without leaving the author despised

It might take some time till the fog lifts and reveals a view

That puts into perspective some formerly uncomfortable truths

Still I don't want things to turn back into what they used to be

Would you force a flower back into its seed

Ahh…
