Hidden Stills - Hands Untied Lyrics

The journey has begun your path is clear
It's time to free you mind the end is near
Of all that went before the lines in sand are drawn
At least it seems that way

We knew we tried to hard we knew we failed
We're stuck here on the shore that ship has sailed
As if I didn't know as if I cared
I said I tried my best I never dared
To open up
To speak my mind
My tongue was tied

I thought the truth would out and fill the void
Our ship would find a port or reach the shore
The dawn proved false the promise foiled
This spring is drying up this well is spoiled
I couldn't see
I didn't cry
My eyes are blind

And when the new sun comes around again
And when this winter takes its leave
And when the warm wind blows our way again
I'm on my knees
But by degrees
My hands are freed

Is this an open book or empty words
Have you sang your song or struck a chord
Is this your curtain call your last encore
It's nothing more than I was looking for
At least you tried
Arms open wide
Our hands untied

And when the new sun comes around again
And when this winter takes its leave
And when the warm wind blows our way again
I'm on my knees
But by degrees
My hands are freed
