lyrics

Don’t look down on me, brother, for who I am
Or who I’m supposed to be
The wind will erode even best laid of plans
Most hopes and dreams are washed to the sea

Its seems like it took me too many good years
To get to the place I am now
Too much time in the shadows chasing my fears
Time I could use about now

Just try to move on
And try not to look back too long
Daylight is breaking within
We’re way past the skyline, my friend

Too much time on the highway can strangle the mind
Stretches the soul out too thin
You start to develop a false sense of time
And that’s when the fear sets in

Fear’s just an alarm
Reach over and turn that thing off
Now’s the time to awake
Cuz we’re way past the skyline today

It’s nice to come home at the end of the day
Sit down and rest up your bones
It'd gotten too easy getting lost on the way
Travelling that road all alone

Day breaks like it did
And you can never hold on to the wind
Breathe in the air if you can
Cuz we’re way past the skyline again
Yes, we’re way past the skyline again
We’re way past the skyline, my friend…
