Heed the Call

Woke up in a race
Had to play along
Started running like I stole this song
Following the pack
But slowly falling back
Into the unknown

Climbed the highest tree
So maybe I could see
How far was left to go until the end
But only when I saw
The building of the walls
Did I run again
Faster and farther than I'd been
To heed the call

But don't wait up for me
Cause I hold no guarantees
The frozen lakes we cross
May return to the sea

All my life there's been
An undertow that's pulled me in
Now I'm thrown a line
To save my skin

Only when the last
Day has come to pass
Will I finally cross the line
And meet you there
Sad to see it go
But glad to be at home with my dear
And now my heart and soul have reappeared
That wayward path I do not fear
