Once I ran like the wildest horse.
I reached up high and I clinched my fist.
What happened then goes just like this,
Oh the tender branch is gonna fall.
I was young and I thought it brave,
Fighting to find the mysterys face.
You got to give it a gentler chase,
Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall.
Sometimes you fall up these stairs, but its a long time fore you know.
No matter where my heart is now, theres a long, long way to go.
There is a church in St Sulpice.
Ive seen the pilgrims come to pray.
Im gonna lean in hard on that grace,
Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall.
