Take the Long Way Home

I lift you off the earth mundane and glum Out the solar system, way past the sun Till all the fear in your heart is gone, and so on Walking through the world with no pressure Inner peace beyond measure I was leaving wherever I came in When a man said, stop I wanna have what you have And get what you got I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain I got it learning to share my people's pain I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone I got it 'cos I always took the long way home I got it 'cos I always took the long way home I've been walking trough the world with no pressure Air's fresher, full of vigour, life becomes my mirror The further I go the more I know Oh yeah, wherever the wind blow I'll be there Turned up in places that I never intended to go And so ended my youth, I once depended on proof Now I'm in the flow, there I things I know beyond knowing I've never seen a seed growing, I was going back home When a man said, stop I wanna have what you have And get what you got I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain I got it learning to share my people's pain I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone I got it 'cos I always took the long way home I got it 'cos I always took the long way home --- Take The Long Way Home - Faithless
