Wake up early every morning; dreams are bad, but that's okay,
I hear the bells from old St. Peter's come to wash my fears away,
And after all this time, it feels the same: so far away, so far away.

Tell me something I don't know, (I'd love to take you home again)
As I walk the longest mile that any man has known,
My flesh and bone - the way is shown, my blood atone,
One man, alone and lonely.

I tried to tell it, but the world wouldn't listen to me,
The way is brighter than any path that any man can see,
Inspiration, illumination, take the sinner to the soul,
Show the total depravation.

Slow me down; don't let me walk my way,
Somebody said the pain won't be the same as it was yesterday,
But after all this time, it feels the same: so far away, so far away.

Tell me something I don't know, (I'd love to take you home again)
As I walk the longest mile that any man has known,
My flesh and bone - the way is shown, my blood atone,
One man, alone and lonely.

Yeah, I tried to tell it, but the world wouldn't listen to me,
The way is brighter than any path that any man can see,
Inspiration, illumination, take the sinner to the soul,
Show the total depravation.

The more you listen to me, the more you're too blind to see,
Is it the way that it should be'
Yeah.

Tell me something I don't know,
Love to take you...love to take you home again, (I'd love to take you home again)
I tried to tell it, but the world wouldn't listen to me,
The way is brighter than any path that any man can see,
Love to take you...love to take you home again. (I'd love to take you home again)

I tried to tell it, but the world wouldn't listen to me,
The way is brighter than any path that any man can see,
Inspiration, illumination, take the sinner to the soul,
Show the total depravation.
