Things That You Know - The Wailin’ Jennys

Things That You Know - The Wailin' Jennys
It's been a long time
Since you saw your home
Even those you call the closest
Have slipped away somehow
Feels like a lifetime you've
Been on the road
With so many miles behind you
You'd think you'd have
Left this world by now
You've seen more than
They could ever know
No matter what they say
You've earned the right to be so bold
But this life it takes its toll on you
Every face around you
Looks so tired and so old
And you have not seen everything
You have not seen everything
But there are things that you know
Things that you know
From where you've had to go
Where you've had to go
Maybe soon you'll find a place
To call your own
To call your home
You've walked a good mile
In your brother's shoes
'Til your legs could walk no further
And your tired soles would burn
You know there's peace
Somewhere around the bend
It's been a long time coming
And you're ready for your turn
And you have not seen everything
You have not seen everything
But there are things that you know
Things that you know
From where you've had to go
Where you've had to go
Maybe soon you'll find a place
To call your own
To call your home
