The Paper Kites - Woodland




I love this song so much that I had to include the LYRICS.
 Sing it out, be brave... sing LOUD!

 Run, Run
Don't Trail Behind
Keep Moving
The Beast Wont Stop Till We're Dead
All The Scrapes On Our Knees
Will Tell You Where We've Been
Where We Have Bled

Are We Placed High
In The Autumn Days
Ahhh

Wont Stop Moving Our Hips
Until The Day Is Done
We Wont Stop Running
Till We Reach The Sun
Ahhhhhhh

Chasing All The Things
That'll Keep Us Young
We Wont Stop Running Till We Reach The Sun
Ahhhhhhh

Ow We're Building A Home
With Some Mud And The Stones
And The Branches We Find

We're All Just Searching For Something
Bigger Than We're All Able To Find

Are We Placed
In The Autumn Days
ahhhhh

Wont Stop Moving Our Hips
Until The Day Is Done
We Wont Stop Running
Till We Reach The Sun
Ahhhhhhh

We Are All Creatures Of The Sunlight
We're All Children Of The Day
We're Just Chasing What We Get

Wont Stop Moving Our Hips
Until The Day Is Done
We Wont Stop Running
Till We Reach The Sun
Ahhhhhhh
