Always Been There

I fell into the future, though I didn't want to
I lost my only home
A new face on the coin, didn't see it coming
Strange king in a strange throne
A place where I can rest was all I ever wanted
My broken weary bones
Somewhere to belong but there might be an answer
Among the stones
Every note there from the start
The song I heard way back in the dark
Feels like it's always been there
I knew it before I even cared
Feels like it's always been there, waiting
Came upon an oak tree beside the river
Familiar and unknown
Carve me on the bark so I'll always remember
My way back home
A mark upon the map will be my steady beacon
My old and trusted friend
Brighter than a flare, stronger than religion
A guiding wind
A voice I know comes through the crowd
A distant jump with echoes inside
Feels like it's always been there
I knew it before I even cared
Feels like it's always been there, waiting
A hook in the sky that pulls us
A pin that we recognize
A journey is the destination that keeps us alive
These words are like a net
That try and catch the longing
With pen and with a page but nothing seems to come
And it still lies a shadow beyond my reach
Every note there from the start
The song I heard way back in the dark
Feels like it's always been there
I knew it before I even cared
Feels like it's always been there, waiting
Feels like it's always been there
I knew it before I even cared
Feels like it's always been there, waiting
