[Verse 1] I left the road at dawn Followed roots and rain Pines were standing guard With green on every vein Mud on my boots And cedar in my sleeve The whole world slowed down When I learned to breathe [Pre-Chorus] And the creek kept talking To the stones below Saying stay a little longer Let the wild things know [Chorus] Moss in my shoes Wild in my lungs Moss in my shoes I belong where the leaves hang low Moss in my shoes Heaven in the dirt Moss in my shoes And the forest knows my name [Verse 2] Birch bark shining pale Through the shade and steam A deer crossed the clearing Like it was a dream Ferns brushed my hands Like they knew me first Every broken branch Turned back into worth [Pre-Chorus] And the creek kept talking To the stones below Saying stay a little longer Let the wild things know [Chorus] Moss in my shoes Wild in my lungs Moss in my shoes I belong where the leaves hang low Moss in my shoes Heaven in the dirt Moss in my shoes And the forest knows my name [Bridge] If I lose my way Let the moss lead on If I come back empty Let the dawn be strong I was made of footsteps Scattered, thin, and worn Till the trees held still And made me new at dawn [Final Chorus] Moss in my shoes Wild in my lungs Moss in my shoes I belong where the leaves hang low Moss in my shoes Heaven in the dirt Moss in my shoes And the forest knows my name
