Green Scenery
(acoustic section)
I once had a time in my life,
when that life was coming down on me.
A love was coming to a close,
sleepless nights from drugs I chose,
being something I never wanted to be.
I hid away in a motel room
broken mind and broken heart.
I sat with faded breath,
fighting thoughts of life and death
The wall I'd built had fallen apart.
Got in my car and left that city
left that concrete, left that scene
I headed out alone
creating something of my own
across the land to discover sights unseen.
(chorus)
A misty valley viewed from a mountain peak
It's the answer to a life that we all seek
We're looking now and we'll always find green scenery.
A leaf that fell from a tree on a wet spring day
It's the bright new love you will find someday
We're looking now and we'll always find green scenery.
(2nd half - stronger intensity)
Maybe just a subtle, needed quest for change
expanding my horizons - now is that so strange?
Gazing over mental walls,
planning my escape.
Exploiting opportunity in a fresh landscape.
The old ones say I'm running,
the young are just confused.
I'm routine life behind
for a mind not fully used.
Green is not just one color, as much a philosophy.
A way for you to live your life - unique psychology
When the shit around you gets you down,
and the colors turn to rusty brown
stagnant pools stay stagnant every day
Carve a ravine on the open road,
pack your bags, pack your load
Green colors await you down the line.
(Chorus)
Open fields of grass like wind-swept seas
Open highways away from monotony
We're looking now and we'll always find green scenery
From the seed to the bud to maturity grew
It's the person inside that you never knew.
We're looking now and we'll always find...
green scenery.
