THE WAY BACK HOME

Didn't I tell you the way back home ? Didn't I warn you
To stay on the road ? Didn't I help you to understand
That life is just time passing thru your hands

There's no easy path thru it ? The truth is there is no truth
To it ? Moving thru the spotlight ? Don't let the paparazzi
World define you ? Now you've made your mark on it
I know you believed the hope of it ? You know nobody
Wins ? It's the way you lose that keeps it hopeful

Didn't I tell you I will be there ? Didn't I show you
I really care

You spoke of your plans for it ? You talked all about your
Destiny ? I could see the rain clouds ? But I couldn't stop
The rain from falling ? You tried to go way beyond it
You?d already made the most of it ? Nothing wrong with
Dreaming ? Just don't fool yourself about the meaning

Didn't I tell you the way back home ? Didn't I warn you
To stay on the road ? Didn't I help you to understand
That life is just time passing thru your plans

You say that you can't let go of it ? That your life only
Works because of it ? You're afraid that you can't hold on
To it ? But your heart doesn't seem so sold on it ? Why not
Try to believe the heart of it ? Why not try to perceive the
Art in it ? Why not let me be more a part of it ? Didn't I tell
You that I'd be there ? Didn't I show you that I really care

Didn't I tell you the way back home ? Didn't I warn you
To stay on the road ? Didn't I help you to understand
That life is just time passing thru your hands
