Map of the World

[Verse 1]
You collected rocks and bark and bits of grass
Because you thought that you'd forget the things
You'd leave behind you
A woven rope, and plastic beads and marbles in a box
A lunch box that you had when
You were six years younger

[Chorus]
With your backpack packed and ready
And get your, map of the world from the south wall
Take a breath, a second to remember
I think that you did good while you were here
You made a mark or impression of yourself on
Everyone around you, and that's good enough

[Verse 2]
Some sea shells, spice packets and hard candies to spare
A glass from Larry's, seven
Decades was a long run
You counted all your keepsakes one by one, holding to each one
Like they were anchors to a spot
You could not reach again

[Chorus]
With your backpack packed and ready
And get your, map of the world from the south wall
Take a breath, a second to remember
I think that you did good while you were here
You made a mark or impression of yourself on
Everyone around you, and that's good enough

[Verse 3]
Maybe leaving home is not a terrible affair
Maybe a home is like a compass, it keeps
You grounded
When you are lost, maybe you can come back home again
Maybe your friends will be just
Right back where you left them

[Chorus]
With your backpack packed and ready
And get your, map of the world from the south wall
Take a breath, a second to remember
I think that you did good while you were here
You made a mark or impression of yourself on
Everyone around you, and that's good enough
That's good enough
