Retrace your steps, balance and check where it all went wrong

The spirit is broken - the path is overrun

Can't move forward and now nothing gets done
Am     F       C               Am    F         C
I hope you can find some inner peace along the way

In case you don't find what you need when you finally arrive
         F        C         F                    G
And your heart is snowed in there's no warmth or light


Am               C            Am      F          C
Take this candle with you and book of matches as well
                       Am       F          C
As you're climbing the walls no answers at all

Except the gift you give yourself

The gift you live is enough
