Redwoods and Daisies

Long live the journey
And long live the children we raise
Long live the memories like leaves the years carried away
Just like a tree that slowly grows
The higher we reach the deeper we go
We're living for something that'll be here when we're old
And we're headed for some place a little further down the road

Redwoods and Daisies never look worried to me
They take what's been given
As if that's all they'll ever need
And if that's all they'll ever need
Maybe that's all we really need
We're living for something that'll be here when we're old
And we're headed for some place a little further down the road

Some people reason for living is to get all they can and move on
But I find more grace in what's given
Because it leads me to where I belong
Elders are people who hold law and grace in their hands
Where death is a doorway
And falling's just learning to stand
And less is more than we really need
And empty's a space for us to receive
We're living for something that'll be here when we're old
And we're headed for some place a little further down the road
