## Verse 1Been hammerin' this wall since the break of dawn With calloused hands, my hope is gone There's a door right there but I can't see Too focused on what's in front of me ## ChorusGotta step back, find another way Gotta ask "what for?" before I stay Learn to see the forest through the trees Get myself up off my knees ## Verse 2Bought expensive tools to break on through When a simple key was all I'd need to use Diggin' deeper in the same old hole While the answer waits there, plain and whole ## ChorusGotta step back, find another way Gotta ask "what for?" before I stay Learn to see the forest through the trees Get myself up off my knees ## BridgeTime to climb the ladder, step by step See the view I haven't seen yet Higher ground shows me the path Saves me from this endless wrath ## Verse 3Now I rise above the mess I made Ask "what for?" instead of how it's played From up here I see a dozen roads Time to choose which way my story goes ## Final ChorusNow I step back, find another way Now I ask "what for?" before I stay I can see the forest through the trees Got myself up off my knees
