lyrics

What once was a mountain now lies flat beneath my feet
What used to be a weapon now lays its arms around me
What once was an island now gives way unto the sea
What used to be an ocean now turns no tide upon me

And all these broken hearts, well, they won't forget what they were sold
All that they never wanted just to keep them spending while they're busy growing old

Now that the big things are small and your kindness stands tall.. you know
We've got a new way to live One that's less take, more give… you know
Everything must go

What once was a desert now grows green beneath my feet
What used to be in anger now circles love around me
What once was an absence now gives way unto a creed
What used to be an edict now has no power over me

And all these broken hearts, well, they won't forget what they were sold
All that they never wanted just to keep them spending while they're busy growing old

Now that the big things are small and your kindness stands tall.. you know
We've got a new way to live One that's less take, more give… you know
Everything must go

We're practicing patience
Ideas above our stations
And so we take congregation
And wait at the station

Now that the big things are small and your kindness stands tall.. you know
We've got a new way to live, One that doesn't depend on this
Out there's a future to take where we'll stand and embrace it all
We've got a new way to live One that's less take, more give… you know
Everything must go
