Cedarwood Road (Songs of Surrender)

I was running down the road

The fear was all I knew

I was looking for a soul that's real

Then I ran into you

And that cherry blossom tree

Was a gateway to the sun

And friendship once it's won

It's won, it's won

Oh, Northside just across the river

From the Southside

That's a long way here

All the green and all the gold

The hurt you hide, the joy you hold

The foolish pride that gets you out the door

Up on Cedarwood

Cedarwood road

Sleepwalking down the street

I'm not waking from these dreams

They're never dead in my head

It was a warzone in my teens

And I'm still standing on that street

Still need an enemy

The worst ones I can't see

You can, you can

Oh, Northside just across the river

From the Southside

That's a long way here

All the green and all the gold

The hurt you hide and the joy you hold

The foolish pride that sends you back for more

Up on Cedarwood

Cedarwood road

If the door is open, it isn't theft

You cannot return to where you've never left

Blossoms falling from a tree

They cover you and cover me

Symbols clashing, bibles smashing

Paint the world you need to see

And sometimes fear is the only place

We can call our home

Cedarwood road

And a heart that is broken

Is a heart that is open

Yeah, a heart that is broken

Is a heart that is open
