Left Behind Lyrics

The tempest crept up on us

Like a ghost who'd angrily returned

To finish what he'd started years ago

It tore through every city

Up the east coast of the country

Leaving once opulent landscapes in pure ruin

Â

How can we move on after this?

Who will rebuild what we have lost?

There's nothing left but sadness here

And none of this will disappear

Every oak has been uprooted

Maybe they all just stood too rigid

To withstand the mighty winds

If they had just looked to the willow

Seen it bowing in the breeze

They might have learned that all they needed

Was to just let go

Â

And all this time, it's been that simple

Even with the damage done

A hope stays planted firmly in the ground

It knew the storm was coming

It had to know that change was near

It had to know... It had to know...

Â

If you let the past own

Everything that's present,

And the paradigm controls

Every move you make

You'll be left behind

And left for dead
