Joey Tempest - A Place to Call Home lyrics

I was out the front door like nothing was lost wanted my freedom no matter what the cost It made no difference what anyone said I didn't follow my heart I followed my head well a man is an island but the water is deep and the shore on the other side is ragged and steep well I built my castle for just one man without the love of a woman it's made out of sand the tower of strength with no one around to pick me up when it all came down well I should have known we all need a place to call home o h yeah, uh huh well you travel the highways and you travel the world when there ain't much left you haven't seen or heard to look for perfection is a lonely old ride it takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride and then one day when you really care she touches your soul but you're far too scared well I should have known we all need a place to call home oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah I'm trying everyday to find out more about myself learning how to love now I need it from somebody else Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers come spare me some time come tell me the reason come tell me the rhyme when you look for independence and you get what you want how come you look back thinking "what have I done?" but time and again it dawns on me it's the price we pay for liberty well I should have known we all need a place to call home oh yeah, home God I miss you tonight we all need a place to call home oh yeah
