Origins

I come from two people
Two people and their parents
They always wanted me to chase my dreams
As one day they would turn around
And wait ahead of me in the field
They always wanted me to pass them
They only wanted to see how serious I was

I come from a mountain
A mountain and it's cabin
It always told me to remember
As a day would come to believe
Those feelings and the figurines
Vacations in December
They only wanted me to be who I would prove to be

From my roots
Putting it all together
Origins
Just enough to be me
Wicked lies
Open my mind
With compassion
Yet a clarity
As if I understand

I come from California
California and the ocean
They always said I would be alright
As one bright day I would be found
In a field with my feelings and dreams
They will remain as the faithful
They only wanted me to see everything would come to be

I come from two people
I come from a mountain
I come from California
I come from the future
