[Intro]
We once were one…
(With the river)
Breath for breath
(With the giver)
[Verse 1]
Fields to flame
(Forests fall)
Profit’s claim
(Takes it all)
Concrete veins
(Cross the land)
Empty gains
(Shifting sand)
[Chorus]
Drifted farther
(From the garden)
Burned the barter
(Beg no pardon)
Cut the cord
(From the source)
Turned toward
(A darker course)
[Bridge]
How did we stray?
(Wayward)
What did we trade?
(For steel and shade?)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Sky once clear
(Now it cries)
Plastic tears
(Ocean sighs)
Roots undone
(Topsoil blown)
Chasing sun
(Alone… alone)
[Chorus]
Drifted farther
(From the garden)
Burned the barter
(Beg no pardon)
Played the lord
(Over clay)
Struck the chord
(Of decay)
[Bridge]
Hear the ground
(It’s calling)
Feel the sound
(Of falling)
Headin’ back?
(Homeward?)
Or still off track?
(Wayward…)
[Outro]
Wayward
(Wavered)
Wayward
(Can we turn?)
Wayward
(The forests burn)
Homeward
(Remember when)
Homeward
(Begin again)
