young man's heart is hungry. His sould is on fire. But there's not tears in his eyes, Because there's no discern.
It's a long way home, And everybody knows, Once the storm comes, People get ready now...
[Chorus:] Everyone knows it's a long way to heaven, And I'm not worthy for the crown of thorns. You capture now and then, A new wave a-comin', And I can tell ya now, It's just a sign of the storm. [End Chorus]
See the pain in her eyes. Just a little girl, Caught up in the tide, Turn her heart against the world. It's a long way home, And everybody knows, Once the storm comes....
People get ready now... [Repeat Chorus]
Old man sittin' alone now. The time is gonna come. He said, people be ready, now, Before your day is done.
