Wailin Jennys lyrics : "Things that you know"

It's been a long time since you saw your home
Even those you call the closest
Have slipped away somehow

Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road
With so many miles behind you
You'd think you'd have left this world by now


You've seen more than they could ever know
No matter what they say

You've earned the right to be so bold
But this life it takes its toll on you
Every face around you looks so tired and so old


And you have not seen everything
You have not seen everything


But there are things that you know
Things that you know

From where you've had to go
Where you've had to go
Maybe soon you'll find a place

To call your own
To call your home


You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes
'Til your legs could walk no further
And your tired soles would burn

You know there's peace somewhere around the bend
It's been a long time coming
And you're ready for your turn


And you have not seen everything
You have not seen everything


But there are things that you know
Things that you know

From where you've had to go
Where you've had to go
Maybe soon you'll find a place

To call your own
To call your home
