[Intro] [Verse 1] They cut the sun into the rock Four arms inside a ring They watched the winter take the land And waited for the spring No letters carved beneath the mark No name to tell us who Just hands that worked the stone one day And left what they once knew [Chorus] Leave a mark For those who come behind Cut it deep Where another man will find Stone or bark A wall beside the road Leave a sign And let the next man know [Verse 2] A thousand winters came and went New roads crossed the land A wanderer stopped outside a farm With hunger in his hands The door stayed shut, the table full No kindness offered there He took his knife and marked the tree For those who followed there [Chorus] Leave a mark For those who come behind Cut it deep Where another man will find Stone or bark A wall beside the road Leave a sign And let the next man know [Verse 3] Nothing here. Keep walking on. Don't waste your time tonight. Another road, another farm Another distant light No book was needed for the words No paper passed around A simple cut upon the bark Was enough to travel on [Bridge] Sun on stone Knife on tree Different hands Same old need I was here I saw this place I leave the mark You know the way [Chorus] Leave a mark For those who come behind Cut it deep Where another man will find Stone or bark A wall beside the road Leave a sign And let the next man know [Outro] Four arms inside the circle One cut upon the tree Some marks outlive the hands That made them Leave a mark. Leave a mark.
