Marsh Owls - Gears II Lyrics

There's mist between the pine trees
Like doubt between my thoughts
A hunter's empty quiver
Where wild winds whisper soft

The surface of the lake holds
A mirror to my shape
And every ripple whispers
There is no perfect place

So maybe home's not waiting
Like embers in the dark
Maybe home's in learning
To carry your own spark
Like branches in the storm winds
Like rivers round the stone
Maybe what I'm seeking
Is how to stand alone

The oak trees hold their secrets
In rings that pulse and sway
Each circle tells a story
Of storms that had their way

The morning fog is lifting
On waters cold and grey
The shadows that I'm chasing
Keep changing day by day

So maybe home's not waiting
Like embers in the dark
Maybe home's in learning
To carry your own spark
Like branches in the storm winds
Like rivers round the stone
Maybe what I'm seeking
Is how to stand alone

Between the world we dream of
And the world we have to face
There lies the quiet wisdom
Of water wearing stones
Like stones beneath the water
That shape the river's song
We're carved by what resists us
And that's where we belong

So maybe home's not waiting
Like embers in the dark
Maybe home's in learning
To carry your own spark
Like branches in the storm winds
Like rivers round the stone
Maybe what I'm seeking
Is how to stand alone

So maybe home's not waiting
Like stories told at night
Maybe home's in learning
How to bend and fight
Like branches in the storm winds
Like rivers round the stone
But what I've been seeking
I've carried all along
In every step I've taken
Through shadow into light
In every storm I've weathered
I've learned to trust my flight
