Sum of What We've Been

Some days you're riding that lucky hand
Holding in your palm one grain of sand
But it's shining bright like a diamond ring
Whispering you can do anything yeah-yeah

When we kicking it round and round in love
Round and round we spin
Kicking up and down we'll fly
Thrashing 'til them chains
'Till them chains give in
You can't testify about no highway
Until you come home again
Being more than just the sum
Of what you've been

Now some days you're flying at the speed of sound
Juggling dreams you lost and keys you found
But what's here today, tomorrow's gone
We all of us must just keep moving on
Head held high, yeah-yeah

Kicking it round and round in love
Round and round we spin
Kicking up and down we'll fly
Thrashing 'til them chains
'Till them chains give in
You can't testify about no highway
Until you come home again
Being more than just the sum
Of what you've been

If life's a hairpin turn on a lost highway
Let us surrender, close our eyes and pray
That for every hardship you and I have known
That our sorrows circle back around
To help pave the way
On that big highway
That carries all us restless souls back home
Yeah, let's take it on home

Kicking it round and round in love
Round and round we spin
Kicking up and down we'll fly
Thrashing 'til them chains
'Till them chains give in
You can't testify about no highway
Until you come home again
Being more than just the sum
Of what you've been
