It's the first day of spring
My life is starting over again
Well the trees grow, the river flows
And its water will wash away my sins
For I do believe that everyone
Has one chance to fuck up their lives
Like a cut down tree, I will rise again
I'll be bigger, and stronger than ever... before
If I'm still here hoping
That one day you may come back
If I'm still here hoping
That one day you may come back
There is hope, in every new seed
And every flower, that grows on the earth
And though I love you, and you know that
The last bit: 4:30 onwards. Guitar 2 play a G on the 6th string every half beat.
