Carbon Leaf - Paloma lyrics

Chase the high ground where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
Face all aglow, to leave from here
To pack up and go

But it takes some time to get away
You will have to build from what remains
To run it takes the courage of a lamb
To love, the fierceness of a storm

Paloma, you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
And everyone's staring
But no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings
Latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap, and you're free

Chase the higher ground
Where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
This move may erase the troubles in your head
Or expose the absence of your soul

And so, it takes some time to get away
And you will have to tear down what remains
And I can't stand by for goodbyes
So hold on to me, or lead the way

Paloma, you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
And everyone's staring but no one
Is caring for you now
Just spread your wings
Latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap, and you're free

Pace yourself when outrunning fear
Take cover when it's dark
And keep an even keel
In your would you're only a phone away
But in my world you're too far to feel

And it may take some time
To learn what's real
And you may have to beg and borrow
And you will surely steal
Remember all those lonely sessions
Turned into yesterday's lessons
To never forget love to never forget love

Paloma, you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
And everyone's staring but no one
Is caring for you now
Just spread your wings
Latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap, and you're free

Paloma, you cry out you beg for connection
The dreams you seek are straight
Ahead in every direction now you're free
Now that you're free now that you're free
You're free

Today I watched the greatest thing of all
A flock of birds, preparing for the fall
