Trees Planted by Strangers Lyrics

From the flood

Green grass will follow

Overgrown

When healing is rushed

Like tiny hands

Fresh from the water

Like solemn eyes

Filled with distrust

Well here's to the days

We remember where we started

But is it too much

For our hearts to be good?

All the trees

Were planted by strangers

The tiny things

That make us feel fear

Now we weep

For horses on the freeway

Hawks on the line

The grey in our beards

Well here's to the days

We remember where we started

But is it too much

For our hearts to be good?

Is this all

Doomed to repeat

Now that we've got

All that we need?

Still idolize

Those who came before us

Still just as lost

Still able to bleed

Well here's to the days

We remember where we started

But is it too much

For our hearts to be good?
