Take the Long Way Home

I lift you off the earth mundane and glum

Out the solar system, way past the sun

Till all the fear in your heart is gone, and so on

Walking through the world with no pressure

Inner peace beyond measure

I was leaving wherever I came in

When a man said, stop

I wanna have what you have

And get what you got

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain

I got it learning to share my people's pain

I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone

I got it 'cos I always took the long way home

I got it 'cos I always took the long way home

I've been walking trough the world with no pressure

Air's fresher, full of vigour, life becomes my mirror

The further I go the more I know

Oh yeah, wherever the wind blow I'll be there

Turned up in places that I never intended to go

And so ended my youth, I once depended on proof

Now I'm in the flow, there I things I know beyond knowing

I've never seen a seed growing, I was going back home

When a man said, stop

I wanna have what you have

And get what you got

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain

I got it learning to share my people's pain

I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone

I got it 'cos I always took the long way home

I got it 'cos I always took the long way home
