Long Way Home

And the stars They are fading The sun, it is falling The stars, they are fading The moon slips into the dark Slips into the night It's early in the morning And the moon is hardly showing There are creatures all around See their shadows and hear their sounds But they're taking me places Places I don't know It's getting kind of spooky Should I stay or follow? But they take me by the hand And whisper in my ear "There's no need to worry First, let's make that clear But we're gon' to take you places Places you will know They look kind of different But not to your heart or to your soul So just open up your senses And let the light in You've now reached these gates, so you may as well step in" And the mystery unfolds As she walks along the path The trees talk to her Finally at last It's a long way home, it's a long way home I'll be back at dawn, I'll be back at dawn It's a long way home, it's a long way home I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone (Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone) It's early in the morning And the water due is falling There are leaves on the ground Blowing up and blowing down As she gazes at the night sky With tears in her eyes She prays to the moon "Please, help me walk this life" So she takes two steps forward And walks the windy road She hears the voices in her head speak loud and bold, they say "Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind Take heed of every beaming light that you can find Such torturous desires They will dig deep in your skin Sucking onto any living or moving thing So just take a breath of life And let the goodness in You see, it's all around you You just have to let it in" It's a long way home, it's a long way home I'll be back at dawn, I will be back at dawn It's a long way home, it's a long way home I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone (Walk this road alone, walk this road alone, walk this road alone, walk this road alone) So the mystery concludes As she stumbles to her knees The moon shines down on her, tells her, "Love is all there is" Is Love is all, is all there is Love is all (Love is all), is all (Love is all) there is (Love is all there is) Love is all (Love is all, love is all, love is all there is) Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind (Corners of your mind, corners of your mind, corners of your mind, corners of your mind) It's a long way home, it's a long way home I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone
