"When You Learn" lyrics - THE AVETT BROTHERS

There is no mountain you can climb
High enough to see past
The fact you climbed it all alone
There is no city filled with lights
So bright that you forget
You have never had a home

[Chorus:]
I gave the world my best, brought back to you the rest
And in return, you loved me more
How do I return all that I took from you
And all the life you gave to me?
When you learn you can earn
The love you're waiting for, it's already yours

There is no reason we should doubt
The broken hearts will rise again
The mending touch of something grand
Isn't that what it's about?
The blind are charging through the night
Guided by the steady hand

[Chorus:]
I gave the world my best, brought back to you the rest
And in return, you loved me more
How do I return all that I took from you
And all the life you gave to me?
When you learn you can earn
The love you're waiting for, it's already yours

[Outro:]
When you learn you can earn
The love you're waiting for
When you learn you can earn
The love you're waiting for
