lyrics

Stepping off this plane today
Seeing different places
Drove through mountains
Saw some trees
Can’t even explain it

Having Conversations
In a crowded room
Drifting through these spaces
With little room to move

The drift
The drift
Is the way to this peaceful center
The closer you come to it
The less you wonder who you are

The drift
The drift
The drift

Stepping off this stage tonight
Seeing different faces
Working hard all day and night
Hoping to make changes

Looking deep inside myself
I can really see
A part of me
That just want to be

The drift
The drift
Is the way to this peaceful center
The closer you come to it
The less you wonder who you are

The drift
The drift
The drift

Go back and get it
Go back and find your heartshapes
Go back and get it
Go back and find your difference

Go back and get it
Go back and find your heartshapes
Go back and get it
Go back and find your difference
