I've been away so long   I've been the wayward son   always moving on   I've been wrong   I've seen the lows and highs   the color of a life and times   after all I have seen   I'm so blind       it's only rain but it's so sweet   sounds like music on the city street   and at times like this   oh, I feel so incomplete   here is the only place I know   against the walls, stand or fall   every word like a shadow   comes the waves rolling slow      let me see the light, silver light   open sky is all I need tonight   I come alive when it shines   so let me breath the air and let my spirit rise      I hear silence and it's lovely   voices tell a haunting story   I don't believe everything I hear   it speaks to me, let it be   don't let the sights or sounds   people, places drag you down   just let the past go, face the future   with eyes open wide      I've been away so long   I've been the wayward son   I'm always moving on   I've been wrong   yeah, I've seen the lows and highs   the color of a life and times   but after all I have seen   I'm so blind      it's a wide world, such a wide world   you can hide in the shadows for too long   praying for light
