Lyrics
I gaze across the rolling fields
Of this checkered land..... undaunted
Take a little time to breather the summer breeze
Staring down at the dew on the moss
What new things will these eyes come across?
All these fields seem the same
But the skies are changing
On this fence a lifetime passes
Searching for some greener grasses
Greener today
And now these welling eyes
Like the threatening skies have swollen
Laying these dreams away for another day
Is this me? Is this where I belong?
Or like these hills, will I simply ramble on?
Will these feelings remain
Or will they wash with the rain?
Upon this fence I sit and wonder
Why I fear that distant thunder
So far away…
Of this checkered land..... undaunted
Take a little time to breather the summer breeze
Staring down at the dew on the moss
What new things will these eyes come across?
All these fields seem the same
But the skies are changing
On this fence a lifetime passes
Searching for some greener grasses
Greener today
And now these welling eyes
Like the threatening skies have swollen
Laying these dreams away for another day
Is this me? Is this where I belong?
Or like these hills, will I simply ramble on?
Will these feelings remain
Or will they wash with the rain?
Upon this fence I sit and wonder
Why I fear that distant thunder
So far away…
