Cedarwood Road (Songs of Surrender) Lyrics

I was running down the road
The fear was all I knew
I was looking for a soul that's real
Then I ran into you
And that cherry blossom tree
Was a gateway to the sun
And friendship once it's won
It's won, it's won

Oh, Northside just across the river
From the Southside
That's a long way here

All the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide, the joy you hold
The foolish pride that gets you out the door
Up on Cedarwood
Cedarwood road

Sleepwalking down the street
I'm not waking from these dreams
They're never dead in my head
It was a warzone in my teens
And I'm still standing on that street
Still need an enemy
The worst ones I can't see
You can, you can

Oh, Northside just across the river
From the Southside
That's a long way here

All the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide and the joy you hold
The foolish pride that sends you back for more
Up on Cedarwood
Cedarwood road

If the door is open, it isn't theft
You cannot return to where you've never left
Blossoms falling from a tree
They cover you and cover me
Symbols clashing, bibles smashing
Paint the world you need to see
And sometimes fear is the only place
We can call our home
Cedarwood road

And a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
Yeah, a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
