I was running down the road
The fear was all I knew
I was looking for a soul that's real
Then I ran into you
And that cherry blossom tree
Was a gateway to the sun
And friendship, once it's won
It's won, it's oneNorthside
Just across the river to the Southside
That's a long way hereAll the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide
The joy you hold
The foolish pride
That gets you out the door
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood RoadSleepwalking down the road
And not waking from these dreams
'Cause it's never dead
It's still my head
It was a war zone in my teens
I'm still standing on that street
Still need an enemy
The worst ones I can't see
You can, you canNorthside
Just across the river from the Southside
That's a long way hereAll the green and all the gold
The hurt you hide
And the joy you hold
The foolish pride
That sends you back for more
Up on Cedarwood, Cedarwood RoadIf the door is open it isn't theft
You can't return to where you've never left
Blossoms falling from a tree
They cover you and cover me
Symbols clashing, bibles smashing
Paint the world you need to see
And sometimes fear is the only place
That we can call our home
Cedarwood RoadAnd a heart that is broken
Is a heart that is open
Open, open
