Lyrics
You can leave this house, leave this town

Leave it all to me or you'll never leave the ground

Look at that tiny screen's too small for you

I think you should learn to dream just like the dreamers do



What can you do with a day?

What will you wake up and see?

The farther you get

The closer to me



Am I the habit you're too tired to break?

I want you to love me with every step you take



What can you do with a day?

What will you wake up and see?

The farther you get

The closer to me



Taj Mahal, Cameroon, back in time, to the moon

Frozen lake, cypress trees, Florida's missing keys

El Dorado, Spain or bust Eiffel Tower, Paris

Just find your way in



You can leave this house, leave this town

All that's left to chart

Is nothing less than your own heart



What can you do with a day?

What will you wake up and see?

The farther you get

The closer to me



Down the river, down the road, Little Rock, Tokyo

Dusty trail, Flagstaff, in a faded photograph

Thunderstorm, Golden Sands, Cape of Horn, Pakistan

Suriname, Highway One, Chinatown, smoking gun



Golden Gate, Baltic Sea, Painted Desert, Laramie

Taj Mahal, Cameroon, back in time, to the moon

Frozen lake, cypress trees, Florida's missing keys

El Dorado, Spain or bust, Eiffel Tower, Paris

Just find your way in

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ this little movie, and this vid! My heart just grew three sizes for baby Anna Paquin and her geese and her healing and growing up.

Oh my god, vidder, I've never even seen this movie but you're such an amazing storyteller that I was reduced to ugly sobbing by the end. So moving and lovely.

Wow I LOVE THIS! I have never seen this movie but I must now because I am overcome with emotions and I absolutely adore this vid and the little baby geese OMG! You really captured the girl's feelings and caring and generosity and how she learns to fly with them and I LOVE the flying shots. Super beautiful, I love it!

[ghost_lingering]

Oh god, Anna Paquin is so young!!!! Wasn't this movie just last year? I am old!

But this is a lovely vid, a wonderful take on a childhood favorite.

[valoise]

Aww, this brought tears to my eyes.

[leanwellback]

I've never actually seen this film, though the trailer was on so many of my videos growing up, but oh my gosh this was so lovely! Such a charming and heartwarming little vid with such beautiful storytelling.

[elipie]

Awwwww baby Anna Paquin!! I used to love this movie as a child, and this vid brought all those feels back. Bravo! <3

[isagel]

Crying! This is so sweet! <3

[bessyboo]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH MY GOD, I have so much nostalgia for this movie and this was the PERFECT vid for all of those feelings!!!! Really really well done, thank you so much for this <3

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Wonderful vid, wonderful song choice.

[sanguinity]

I never thought I'd say, "Aw! She loves her geese!" and yet here I am, saying it. I especially liked how you put in her playing dress-up. She is so young to be bearing the responsibility of being a cross-species mama.

[sasha_feather]

So sweet! What a nicely done vid.

[kyrafic]

Oh man, I love this movie and this was such a lovely, heartfelt revisiting of it.
