(G)
Looking
for the (D) world
to be
(Am)
Anything
but (Em) what
they see
(G)
Longing
to be (D) understood
(Am)
By
the heart that (Em) shapes
the wood
If
you go
into the forest, gaze up through the leaves
And see
the sky that's almost wild
You must
learn to understand
What makes
the forest greet the man
Like a
mother's only child
In
the north
when when winter's claw
Relaxes
now to keep the laws of nature in control
People
come and stand in line
To rob
the forest of her wine
But they
don't feel the cold
Looking
for the world to be
Anything
but what they see
Longing
to be understood
By the
heart that shapes the wood
Love
and
maple syrup go together
Like the
sticky winds of winter when they meet
When lonely
lovers come to rest
Beneath
the trees they do their best
But still
they can't be free
Love
and
maple syrup shine like
Embers
warm, like thoughts divine
They tell
us it is spring
Love and
maple syrup stir
The thoughts
of people into words
Of songs
that they can sing
Looking
for the world to be
Anything
but what they see
Longing
to be understood
By the
heart that shapes the wood
