I was lost in the city when I chanced on a man Who said he was Jesus as he held out his hand I tossed him a quarter and 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 lost the way back home We lost the way back home Find the way back home Find a way back home Find 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 Find the way back home Find a way back home Find the way back home Find a way back home Find the way back home I'm walking on pavement where old illusions fall I'm struck by a sadness Lonely here inside these walls Find a way back home Find a way back home Find a way back home Find a way back home Find a way back home Find a way back home 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. . ."
