Lyrics My Way Home - Close Your Eyes

My Way Home

The beauty of a living thing
Is not the atoms
That go into it
But the mystery
That they were put together
Woah!
Teach him to hate
To hate not for himself
But for the ones he sees around
For the women and children, the helpless, the broken
And his country burning down
The seas are rough
His tension’s high
So start the storm and watch him die
And let it ride
Let it ride
'til it all falls down and there’s nothing left
Woah!
I know my way back home
Resides in you alone
Woah!
And distant lights make it clearer
I’m searching for the morning star
Teach him to fear
A fear of the unknown
A fear of going there alone
Until he thinks he can’t take it
He’ll bend and he’ll break
And as a coward he will roam
'cos I don’t wanna fight
But sometimes I do
I’m practically dragging the elephant into the room
Is this more than you were prepared to commit to?
The seas are rough
His tension’s high
So start the storm and watch him die
And let it ride
Let it ride
'til it all falls down and there’s nothing left
Woah!
I know my way back home
Resides in you alone
Woah!
And distant lights make it clearer
I’m searching for the morning star
The beauty of a living thing
Is not the atoms
That go into it
But the mystery
That they were put together
The beauty of a living thing
Is not the atoms
That go into it
But the mystery
That they were put together
The beauty of a living thing
Is not the atoms
That go into it
But the mystery
That they were put together
I know my way back home
Resides in you alone
Woah!
And distant lights make it clearer
I’m searching for the morning star
(The war is over the fighting ends his bravery)
'cos I don’t wanna fight
But sometimes I do
I don’t wanna fight
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
Let’s start again
