I know what you're looking for isn't here,
So I'll open the door and let evening
Call you out to the highway of chased dreams.

This house will only hold you back,
So may the memories that follow you
Be kind and not burden your journey

Like a chain locked to its eternal ball.
Find the goals that evaded the ones who loved you,
The treasures that were never unearthed,

The happiness that was always on the horizon.
Be the proof so many young eyes need to
See in this forgotten town,

The example held high at schools,
Whispered in the playgrounds,
Idolized in endless tales.

Here is my heart.
Take it and when you return,
Show me only that you gave yours to others.
