Insight When it is barren is when we see the work we have done I didn't think anything of it until I came back to the tree I planted Or crossed a street to seee the sorrow I never saw Or to see the sky change And to know why men are different at six o clock in the morning To see a river the same from Western Pennsylvania to Western Oregon Insight lets you come and go Insight lets you change
