Signs on the Wall of the Dojang

lyrics

It’s like the bluest sky on the brightest day,
But I can’t go out, no, I gotta stay inside.
Feeling like a statue sitting here trying not
To decay—will patience turn the tide?

If you don’t sit still, then you can’t heal,
But if you don’t move a muscle, then you can’t feel.

Did you see the signs on the wall of the dojang?
It’s not the first kick; it’s your mindset.
Remember good times when we all sang:
What you give is what you get.

You have to let yourself feel good sometimes.

All the figureheads of every company saying,
"This is not the year that we envisioned."
It isn't anyone's fault, it's not easy
Living in the wake of these decisions.

Today we learned a new lesson,
Looking back on what it all meant.
Life has new lessons for us now,
They just look a little different.

Did you see the signs on the wall of the dojang?
It takes patience to make home feel like home.
Remember good times when we all sang:
“I promise you" like When in Rome
I promise you...

You have to let yourself feel good sometimes.
We're all a bit misunderstood sometimes.
You have to let yourself feel good.
