lyrics

How Many Miles

How many miles, do we go through
How many faces do we see
How many changes do we walk through, together
To eat, from your tree

If there’s a little sunshine
It brings a brighter day
It’s got me laughing with my good friends
It’s got me smiling all the way

You bring me songbirds in the morning
You bring me sunshine in the day

You bring me laughter so I can get through,
Together…to eat from your tree

There’s no hiding place, I call home
There’s no other pace, then my own
If I ran, ran away with time
Then you’d see what’s on my mind

How many miles, do we go through
How many faces do we see
How many changes do we walk through,
Together, to eat from your tree

We try to say it through religion
We try to change it through belief
We learn the feeling through emotion
We learn to find the inner peace

So now I’m asking for forgiveness
And now I’m giving you my grace
How many miles, do we walk through,
Together, just to eat, from your tree

There’s no hiding place, I call home
There’s no other pace, then my own
If I ran, ran away with time
Then you’d see, what’s on my mind

(Reggae Chug)
There’s no other place, for me
There’s no other love for free
If we reach up high, we’ll see

How its come
Where its gone
How’s it feel, in my head

How many miles, do we go through
How many faces do we see
How many changes do we walk through,
Together, to eat from your tree
