I was running down the code
The code was all I knew
I was looking for source that’s real
Then I ran into yours
And that cherry blossom source tree
Was a git way to the sun
And friendship, once it’s won
It’s won, it’s one

Northside
Just across the river to the Southside
That’s a long way here

All the green and all the code
The hurt you hide
The joy you hold
The foolish pride
That gets source code out the door
Up on Cedarwood, there is code

Sleepwalking down the code
And not waking from these dreams
‘Cause it’s never dead
It’s still my head
It was a war zone in my teens
I’m still standing on that project
Still need a source tree
The worst ones I can’t see
You can, you can

Northside
Just across the river from the Southside
That’s a long way here

All the green and all the code
The hurt you hide
And the joy you hold
The foolish pride
That sends you back for more
Up on Cedarwood, there is code

If the source is open it isn't theft
You can’t return source code you were never left
Blossoms falling from a source tree
They cover you and cover me
Symbols clashing, functions smashing
Code the world you need to see
And sometimes fear is the only place
That we can call our home
Cedarwood Code

And code that is broken
Is source that is open
Open, open
