[Verse 1]
All those who go before us
The mothers and the kings
Shakespeare and my father
Who kick dust up in my dreams
If you're too close to the voices
You can stray far from the track
So goodbye, my friends
It's my turn, I won't look back
[Verse 2]
The ghosts have had their moment
Now they fade into the sun
Shining like a carousel
When summer's just begun
Bonded for their silence
And I threw away the key
Someone's going down
But it's not me
[Chorus 1]
All because I'm thankful for what we don't understand
The undiscovered country between a woman and a man
[Verse 3]
All those who follow after
Are children who we pledge
To a story of some sailors
Who float beyond the edge
To their little box of wishes
We want them to retire
Just beyond their grasp
And plain desires
All those who go before us
The mothers and the kings
Shakespeare and my father
Who kick dust up in my dreams
If you're too close to the voices
You can stray far from the track
So goodbye, my friends
It's my turn, I won't look back
[Verse 2]
The ghosts have had their moment
Now they fade into the sun
Shining like a carousel
When summer's just begun
Bonded for their silence
And I threw away the key
Someone's going down
But it's not me
[Chorus 1]
All because I'm thankful for what we don't understand
The undiscovered country between a woman and a man
[Verse 3]
All those who follow after
Are children who we pledge
To a story of some sailors
Who float beyond the edge
To their little box of wishes
We want them to retire
Just beyond their grasp
And plain desires
