D                                      G 
A horse needs to run, a heart needs to bleed 
   D                                        A 
An engine can't gain the miles if it's kept pristine

If the view of change is constant, just like I've been told 
D                                               A        D 
Is any back yard the boundless starts to all directions unknown

D                                         G 
Children of our parents, a storybook held close 
D                                                   A 
A mom and dad's heart-felt work is work down to the bone 
D                                                      G 
And the leveraging meant everything, so a palace for a home 
    D                                      A     D 
The remains of the day - were never shown, never known

We now work in reverse, we salvage and we save

We fight the rust, one if by land, two if by grace

Let the freshest of our love set sail and float the open breeze
