I was lost in the city   When I chanced on a man   Who said he was Jesus   And he held out his hand   I tossed him a quarter   Said, "I'm your biggest fan."   "Do you know the way back home?"      And the planet sits waiting   For this man to appear   who will solve all our problems   And make everything clear   'Cause we are all prisoners   Of apathy and fear   And we've lost the way back home      But there is no one coming   With great things to say   There's no simple solutions   There's no last judgment day   there's only the trying   To find a better way   To look for the way back home   To look for the way back home      I'm walking on pavement   Where old illusions fall   I'm struck by a sadness   Lonely here inside these walls      And the man who was Jesus   Lit his last cigarette   And he spoke in a whisper   With a voice of regret   "You've all heard the answer.   But you're not listening yet.   Love is the way back home."
