Young one rises from the nest
Bid him farewell and all the best
With all the tools to love and grow
And all the right from wrong you knowNow and then
It's hard to choose which way to go
Trust a chosen few
Don't trust yourself
When you're lowOnce in a while when liberty smiles
You're free to pick up the pieces
Then you're squeezing the stone
Trying to find your way home
But don't drag tomorrow down
Th heart of trust is well and good
You run the risk that's understood
Trusting from the mind just might
Keep you up with the doubt all nightFind yourself a love
Or hope that it finds you
Before you're through
The best that you can give
Is the best of you
Before you're throughOnce in a while when liberty smiles
You're free to pick up the pieces
Then you're squeezing the stone
Trying to find your way home
But don't drag tomorrow down
Don't drag tomorrow down
Well in light of it
And in spite of it
We all find our way home
The periphery is distracting me
That's no way to be
Look how much you have grownOnce in a while when liberty smiles
You're free to pick up the pieces
Stay single file and give us a smile
Everyone picks up the pieces
Until we're squeezing the stone
Trying to find our way home
But don't drag tomorrow down
Don't drag tomorrow down, oh yeah
Well don't drag!
