[Intro] [Verse] Deep in the cedar chest Found a soul put to rest Twelve years old, doing his best Passing every silent test Blue ink on a yellow page Written from a different age Before the world became a cage Before the quiet, boiling rage I’m reading through the messy lines Searching for the hidden signs Of a heart that still aligns With the stars and ancient pines He had a list of things to be None of them resemble me Locked inside a memory Waiting for a master key [Pre-Chorus] I see the boy I used to know Watching how the shadows grow Wondering where the spirits go Moving fast or moving slow [Chorus] The script is old but the ink is gold Stories that the young heart told Walking through the winter cold Watching all the truth unfold It’s a heavy weight to hold Breaking from the common mold Trying to be brave and bold Before the story is all sold [Post-Chorus] Yeah, the ink is gold Stories that the heart told Truth begins to unfold Before we’re all sold [Verse] I see the park where the fences broke Where we shared a secret smoke Life was just a heavy joke Waiting for the words he spoke He wanted change for the block we knew He wanted skies of a deeper blue But the promises are overdue And the list of chores is coming through I look at friends I haven't called At the dreams that have been stalled By the way the world is walled And the way the spirit’s mauled It’s the ungraceful work of care Breathing in the heavy air Finding hope inside despair Knowing that I’m finally there [Bridge] It’s the ungraceful work Where the shadows lurk No more ego smirk Just the daily irk Showing up for the ones I love Matching what he dreamed of Looking at the sky above Peace is like a nesting dove [Verse] I’m folding up the paper now Making a brand new vow Wiping sweat from a heavy brow I finally see the why and how It’s not about the mountain peak It’s for the humble and the weak It’s the honesty we seek Every day and every week No more forced bravado style Just a slow and steady mile Keeping focus all the while Building up a better pile Of the values that I claim In a world of hollow fame I will carry on the name And extinguish every shame [Chorus] The script is old but the ink is gold Stories that the young heart told Walking through the winter cold Watching all the truth unfold It’s a heavy weight to hold Breaking from the common mold Trying to be brave and bold Before the story is all sold [Outro]
