  • I've cleared a path the best I can
    But you must work with your own hand
    To see this business through
    Get where you're going to
    You've set aside the childish things
    Now this bold endeavor brings
    Things only you can do
    But if I were able to
    I'd crash this gate for you
    I'd hoist this weight for you
    I'd take your steps- and sweat your sweats
    And give all that's left for you
    I'd go to the woods and make my home
    From withered sticks and jagged stones
    And whimper through the night
    If that would win your fight
    And dying trees could fall on me
    I'd be just so much debris
    If that gave me the right
    To be with you tonight
    I'd crash this gate for you
    I'd hoist this weight for you
    I'd take your steps- and sweat your sweats
    And give all that's left for you
    -INSTRUMENTAL
    In the clearing up ahead
    As you face your final test
    Know that nothing's changed
    If you but say my name
    I'd crash this gate for you
    I'd hoist this weight for you
    I'd take your steps- and sweat your sweats
    And give all that's left- give all that's left
    I'd give all that's left for you Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
