lyrics

Growing up is easy

It's looking back that's hard

And looking forward is impossible

But life keeps happening and

None of it feels real

A daily choice to live as though alive

I'm just lost here in the city

I'm without a home to call my own

What am I to do now?

Oh give me an anchor for my wayward soul

But you, you cut the pretence out

You're everything that's real

Truly human in the best of ways

And you're an eagle up there

I bet your Dad would say that too

You see beauty in the small things

We're just out here in the city

I never thought it'd be this way

The clouds out here look much more pretty

Because here I watch them with you

I have no idea what to do

But you are an anchor for my wary soul
