Lyrics
We all tie our knot
To the best thing we got
So it won’t drift away
And leave us lost
So take the time
To make sure that your knot is refined
Don’t ever let it get loose
Or you could lose all you struggled to find
My knot started off strong
Survived the rain, wind, snow and sun
Some tried to untie it
But they gave up after long
Well, I used a heavy rope
To ensure that it would bear the weight
But I had no idea of the weight
It would have to take
We all tie our knot
To the best thing we got
So it won’t drift away
And leave us lost
So take the time
To make sure that your knot is refined
Don’t ever let it get loose
Or you could lose all you struggled to find
Over time it slowly loosened
When I noticed it was almost to late
Well, I grabbed the slack, and pulled back
Trying to compensate
With tears, blood, and sweat
I was able to retighten it
My only fear is that it
May never be that tight again
We all tie our knot
To the best thing we got
So it won’t drift away
And leave us lost
So take the time
To make sure that your knot is refined
Don’t ever let it get loose
Or you could lose all you struggled to find
