lyrics

It's a long way home
It's a long way home

Every moment packed with possibilities
Every word containsl an ancient tale
Every threat can lead to new hostilities
Every lie can help to tip the scales

Every soul must get it spark from somewhere
Every atom from an long dead star
Every dream can be a road to nowhere
Even God can break your lonely heart

It's a long way home It's a long way home

Eve and Adam fell prey to temptation
Noah built the ark to start again
Abraham went out to build a nation
Jacob fought God by the river's bend

Moses led his people from their bondage
Some rebelled, prayed to a golden calf
I'm just trying to figure out our own age
Can we even see the righteous path

It's a long way home
It's a long, long way home

BRIDGE:
Walking through the valley dark with shadows
Trying to stay clear of hate and fear and reach the mountain...

SOLO

Every moment packed with possibilities
Every act can write a future tale
Every kiss can lessen the hostilities
Every dream can help to set the sails...

It's a long way home
It's a long, long way home
