Strolling down the street, sunshine in my face,
Vuarnets on my eyes, to keep my smile in place,
People stopping, staring; "What's come over you?"
Brothers and sisters, hold on, right where you stand,
There's been a big change; you'd better understand.
Dream on, sisters,
There's a song in your heart; the music's about to start,
Press on, brothers,
There's one road home.
Please, sirs and madams, this you must understand,
Fell prey to disaster before I learned how to stand,
Cocaine for breakfast, J.D. for bed,
Found a new home, put my life up for sale,
Well, living in Heaven sure beats room and board in Hell.
Dream on, sisters,
There's a light in your eyes; you're closer than you realise,
Press on, brothers,
Take the hand of the man who'll take you to the promised land,
Dream on, sisters,
There's a song in your heart; the music's about to start,
Press on, brothers,
There's one road home.
Life ended before it started,
Mum gave me away to the gypsies, dad sold me into slavery,
Life was rough when Jesus called my bluff,
Now I am a brand new man.
Dream on, sisters,
There's a light in your eyes; you're closer than you realise,
Press on, brothers,
Take the hand of the man who'll take you to the promised land,
Dream on, sisters,
There's a song in your heart; the music's about to start,
Press on, brothers,
There's one road home.
