Lyrics:
don't write cause I don't think
I don't have a need to speak
I don't see the bright side, quite as clear
Accolades and happy days
They don't ever last
Stories of courage clouded up with fear
In the broom grass I would l lie
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
From Victory, I tried
To match eternal light with how I live my life
Of course, I was forced to retreat
From victory I accept defeat
Waxy green and yellow walls
Outside my window fall
Covering the light I thought I'd see
Am I sad or am I sick?
What's at the root of it?
Do I throw my hands and quit?
Something tells me no
In the broom grass I would l lie
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
From victory, I tried
To match eternal light with how I live my life
Of course, I was forced to retreat
From victory I accept defeat
Worries on all sides of my mind
In silence, my darkness is denied
In the broom grass I would l lie
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
From victory, I tried
To match eternal light with how I live my life
Of course, I was forced to retreat
From victory I accept defeat
From victory I accept defeat

"Thanks for letting us work for you all"... always humble; always grateful... besides giving us this beautiful music you all are gracious and give us an example of how to be a better person. I can't thank you enough 😊😍

Stunning song, brilliant lyrics, impeccable craftsmanship. They are exceptionally talented.

[@4estdweller4ever]

Thank you for sharing your gifts 😘 it’s a great lesson in life to realize defeat and mistakes do not summarize who we are. Who we are is not who we were, it’s who we are.

[@thomaslasalle4538]

Such a powerful lyric. But, I've come to expect this from them. They never cease to amaze me.

Is Scott’s hat a fedora? It looks a little too big to be one on the brim. Also not quite a cowboy hat. What is it!?
