Lyrics
[Verse 1] You tied the red thread around your wrist Before the train could pull away A paper map with a mountain marked And one small match for the dark of day You said, “I don’t need the whole way clear I only need the next blue sign” The rails kept singing under your feet Like they had been waiting all this time [Pre-Chorus] And every mile took something loose That fear had fastened tight [Chorus] Go where the wild grass bends Go where the high road ends Carry the brave part you found inside Let it be louder than the doubt tonight If the compass turns, let it turn There’s more than one way to learn You don’t have to know what the horizon means Just take your heart where it wants to be [Verse 2] A hawk cut a circle over the pass The valley opened wide and green You laughed when the wind stole half your words As if losing them made you free The old name faded from the paper map New ink ran beneath your hand You drew a line through the sleeping towns And made a promise to the land [Pre-Chorus] No finish line, no perfect proof Just breath and a forward view [Chorus] Go where the wild grass bends Go where the high road ends Carry the brave part you found inside Let it be louder than the doubt tonight If the compass turns, let it turn There’s more than one way to learn You don’t have to know what the horizon means Just take your heart where it wants to be [Breakdown] Only your steps on the gravel now Only the pulse beneath the ground You lift your face to the open blue And the whole wide world comes rushing through [Final Chorus] Go where the wild grass bends Go where the high road ends Carry the brave part you found inside Let it be louder than the doubt tonight If the compass turns, let it turn There’s more than one way to learn You don’t have to know what the horizon means Just take your heart where it wants to be [Outro] Take your heart where it wants to be Take your heart where it wants to be
