Lyrics

It's been said of trees that they're imperfect men
Imprisoned by the roots between their sins
With branches that reach into the dirt like arms
To plant their thoughts like seeds
But it never seemed so to me
We're all living in the same room
And the heavens are the roof
We're all living in the shadow
Of a canyon that's bigger than us
We're all living in the same room
And the heavens are the roof
We're all living in the shadow
Of a canyon bigger than us
It's been said that fire
Is just a greedy flame
With lights to distract
From all it hopes to gain
All dressed up in colors to
Ignite its claim
And a heart that's much like me
But I've never felt all that free
We're all living in the same room
And the heavens are the roof
We're all living in the shadow
Of a canyon bigger than us
We're all living in the same room
And the heavens are the roof
We're all living in the shadow
Of a canyon bigger than us
We're all living in the same room
And the heavens are the roof
We're all living in the shadow
Of a canyon bigger than us
We're all living in the same room
And the heavens are the roof
We're all living in the shadow
Of a canyon bigger than us
