From the recording Traveling Light

Lyrics

It's been a long time since I've been here
I didn't know just what to say
Wounded and worried kept me distant
'Cause you can't ignore the words not on the page

Gotta get back on the horse and try again
'Cause I can't stay on the ground forever

Finding what it takes for me to learn to swallow my pride
Working up the strength for me to start again
Every wave'll break just gotta learn to follow the tide
As it rises and falls

I'm not a fool but I'm believing
Won't give the past another chance
I've learned some lessons that I'm keeping
And I won't give no mistake a second glance

So I'll get back on the horse and try again
'Cause I can't stay on the ground forever

Finding what it takes for me to learn to swallow my pride
Working up the strength for me to start again
Every wave'll break just gotta learn to follow the tide
As it rises and falls

Yes, I've been broken
Yes, I've been scarred
I've made excuses, said life was too hard
But everyone rises, and everyone falls
Gotta prove what I'm made of
Gotta find a way over the walls

So I'll get back on the horse and try again
'Cause I can't stay on the ground forever

Finding what it takes for me to learn to swallow my pride
Working up the strength for me to start again
Every wave'll break just gotta learn to follow the tide
As it rises and falls
Thru the rises and falls
As it rises and falls
All the rises and falls

So I’ll get back on the horse and try again
‘Cause I can’t stay on the ground forever
