Things That You Know

Things That You Know - The Wailin' Jennys

It's been a long time

Since you saw your home

Even those you call the closest

Have slipped away somehow

Feels like a lifetime you've

Been on the road

With so many miles behind you

You'd think you'd have

Left this world by now

You've seen more than

They could ever know

No matter what they say

You've earned the right to be so bold

But this life it takes its toll on you

Every face around you

Looks so tired and so old

And you have not seen everything

You have not seen everything

But there are things that you know

Things that you know

From where you've had to go

Where you've had to go

Maybe soon you'll find a place

To call your own

To call your home

You've walked a good mile

In your brother's shoes

'Til your legs could walk no further

And your tired soles would burn

You know there's peace

Somewhere around the bend

It's been a long time coming

And you're ready for your turn

And you have not seen everything

You have not seen everything

But there are things that you know

Things that you know

From where you've had to go

Where you've had to go

Maybe soon you'll find a place

To call your own

To call your home
