I was empty handed, when I needed something,
I saw life go wasted, it was all or nothing,
I was left for dead, when I was cut to the bone,
I've been a long, long way from home,
I've seen true forgiveness, retribution,
I've been close to the truth but far from salvation,
I've seen ghosts in the shadows, blood on the stone,
and I'm a,
I'm a long, long way from home,
a leaf on a river after a hard wind blows
Trees grow high and seeds are sown,
I'm a long long way from home,
I was blinded by the light in total darkness
I was filled with wonder, I was cold and heartless,
I was the last man standing, out there all alone,
and I'm a,
I'm a long long way from home,
a leaf on a river after a hard wind blows
Trees grow high and seeds are sown,
And I'm a long, long way from home,
I'm a long long way from home.
