Open Ground

Back in class a gathering
And I'm transfixed upon the end
Worried thoughts and worried mind
Worry lines and worried times

So I'll let the road slip by
And in the quiet I use the time
To work out what I'll say to you
To figure out a basic truth

When all of this is done
When all of this is done
When all of this is done

Let the mountain slopes roll by
Let the vastness clear my mind
I always dreamt I have a son
I always hoped you were the one

Well there's a weight above my chest
That years of doubt are brought to rest
What can I offer to someone else
That I can't offer to myself

When all of this is done
When all of this is open ground
When all of this is done
When all of this is open ground
When all of this is done
When all of this is open ground
Is open ground

And I know you're terrified
I can see it in your eyes
Scared of what I'd say to you
Scared I wouldn't see it through

Be the good work of my life
Accept my valid need to fly
I will make a home for you
I won't leave, I promise you

When all of this is done
When all of this is open ground
When all of this is done
When all of this is open ground
When all of this is done
When all of this is open ground
Is open ground
