lyrics

This morning we awoke with the world and saw the sky was smiling,
We awoke in dark forests and began to see the sun was rising,
We crossed the Santiago sat beside a church and just burst out laughing,
Then we stood in disbelief cause we had no idea where we were standing,

Let me leave, let me leave,

We made camp in the Pyrenees and listened as the trees were softly twisting,
As you feel down to your knees and screamed at the moon above "Are You Listening?"
We all just wonder when tomorrow comes are we done for or are we leaving,
Pack your things on to a silver bird and be thankful for the gifts we are receiving,

Let me leave, let me leave,

This world is full of thieves and angels and it's discerning,
That's what was said to me, upon returning from your 500 mile journey,
Well I've missed my family and friends but it's worth relief from all that I've been yearning,
True I've been gone but now I'm home, thanks for keeping the fires burning

Let me leave, let me leave, let me leave, let me leave.
