I wrote a song about war,
the kind that lives in your head.
I found a place I can sit,

a place where everyday light hits.
Like the palm of your hand
when you're reaching for something

that's balled up in the sky.
That's the way I like to see myself;
reaching for just one star at a time.


I heard what was a song inside the earth.
I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

See, I got lost in the sound.
It was the moment I felt sick, just when I needed it most.
There is not much to explain,

except I found myself blinded by every bit of light.
I felt so safe inside the sight of the sun.
I really think I'm home now, I really think that.


I heard what was a song inside the earth.
I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.
It hit so hard and it took my spirit.
Know that I belong to you until I die.


I remember giving this a try...
I screamed so loud, 'cause that's exactly how I felt.

It broke me out, and I gave up all my plans.
I set them down, 'cause I really need to see the sun again.
Don't worry, 'cause I'll be fine.


I heard what was a song inside the earth.
I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.
It hit so hard and it took my spirit.
Know that I belong to you until I die.
