Lyric

Looking up at the tallest tree in the world

All I could think was, "God, it’s high."

I’m losing my sense of balance

Suddenly feeling the full weight of my own bones

How long have you been standing there?

I know you’re not just ignoring me

I touched down on American soil

Seeing just how small a human soul can be

When I opened my eyes, the tears just crawled down

Looking up at the tallest tree in the world

All I could think was, "God, it’s high."

Where the hell were we born

And where are we destined to fade away?

Maybe my worries never even existed;

The answer was already screaming inside of me

I touched down on American soil

Wanting to be a giant, just like you

To just stand firm, unshaken by it all—

That’s the man I remember I wanted to be

I’m heading back now. See you around
