I've been away so long
I've been the wayward son
always moving on
I've been wrong
I've seen the lows and highs
the color of a life and times
after all I have seen
I'm so blind
it's only rain but it's so sweet
sounds like music on the city street
and at times like this
oh, I feel so incomplete
here is the only place I know
against the walls, stand or fall
every word like a shadow
comes the waves rolling slow
let me see the light, silver light
open sky is all I need tonight
I come alive when it shines
so let me breath the air and let my spirit rise
I hear silence and it's lovely
voices tell a haunting story
I don't believe everything I hear
it speaks to me, let it be
don't let the sights or sounds
people, places drag you down
just let the past go, face the future
with eyes open wide
I've been away so long
I've been the wayward son
I'm always moving on
I've been wrong
yeah, I've seen the lows and highs
the color of a life and times
but after all I have seen
I'm so blind
it's a wide world, such a wide world
you can hide in the shadows for too long
praying for light
