Strike a Chord

Take a long look back from where you started It's longer than you have ever gone But who would've thought that back in the beginning That you'd be better off never leaving home? But that's how it goes, you're never guaranteed That the path that you have chosen wasn't wrong But it's right to go the wrong way, it brought you up here today And write about the wrong here in this song Strike a big chord, tell a mighty story Note-taking shorthand on the run There's no better way to leave a mark upon the page Than to let the pen do what it's always done So let the ink bleed, let the song sing Give the garden what it needs and let it grow 'Cause harmony is happiness, earthquakes and vibrations Words we've given to the unknown You can never get high enough To look back at how far you've come From where you hang your heart 'Cause home beats inside your chest But you're never gonna find it if you can't admit That you're running from where you are Take a long look back from where you started It's longer than you have ever gone But who would've thought that back in the beginning That the path you had to take would lead you home?
