Always rewarded for learning every lesson / They said you'll reap just what you sow / Believed the answer before I knew the question / Now this is all I have to show / So I went stumbling in all the wrong directions / Trying to hold on to what I found / But there's no currency in good intentions / Sometimes they only weigh you down / Chorus / empty my hands of all the stones I've gathered / Empty my hands of all this weight / empty my hands show me what matters / There's got to be some other way / How can I erase those wasted years / Recover everything I missed / I don't know where I should go from here / But I know I can't go on like this / Chorus / I can't receive if my hands are full of dreams I have denied / I need so much more than to survive / Chorus
