I took the long way home
But it led to the same apartment
Where no one’s paid the phone bill
And no one really cares
When will that road go somewhere beautiful
And somewh-ere safe
‘Cause around here everybody’s trying to find someone to be
Every guy’s trying to find respect in the eyes of a girl who just wants to be loved
We’re children playing with guns
Children playing w-ith h-earts
And we go o-n
We go o-n
We go o-n
W-e go o-n
We drive out of the city
Sometimes you’ve j-ust got to leave
And scream out at the dark night hoping we believe what we believe
‘Cause it all seems too simple
And it all seems t-oo w-ild
And our questions grow in number
And their answers loom with fear
But still we ask and we trust You
Because You’ve held us here
With chains of grace and longing
Longing to be loved
Longing to be kn-own
And we go o-n
~Chorus~
(All this reaching still no grasping)
(Faith is there but time is passing)
We go o-n
(Are the answers in the asking)
(Where the weak become the strong)
We go o-n
(2X)
All I want is to be someone
All I want it to be real
All I want is to f-eel alive
All I want is to be with You
I don’t know what I think that means
I want an awful lot it seems
(All this reaching still no grasping)
(Faith is there but time is passing)
Are the answers in the asking
Where the weak become the strong
All this reaching still no grasping
Faith is there but time is passing
Are the answers in the asking
Where the weak become the strong
And we go o-n
~Chorus~
(4X)
(All this reaching still no grasping)
(Faith is there but time is passing)
(Are the answers in the asking)
(Where the weak become the strong)
(6X)
