Redwoods and Daisies Songtext
von Jason Upton

Long live the journey
And long live the children we raise
And long live the memories like leaves the years carried away
And just like a tree that slowly grows
The higher we reach, the deeper we go

′Cause we're living for something that′ll be here when we're old
And we're headed for some place a little further down the road


Redwoods and Daisies never look worried to me
They take what′s been given
As if that′s all they'll ever need
And if that′s all they'll ever need
Maybe that′s all we really need

'Cause we′re living for something that'll be here when we're old
And we′re headed for some place a little further down the road

Some peoples′ reason for living is to get all they can and move on
But I find more grace in what's given
Because it leads me to where I belong

Elders are people who hold law and grace in their hands
Where death is a doorway
And falling′s just learning to stand
And less is more than we really need
And empty's a space for us to receive


′Cause we're living for something that′ll be here when we're old
And we're headed for some place a little further down the road
