[Verse 1: Johnny Tame]
Goin' 'cross the sea, livin' on a boat
Left the islands for the continent
I felt pretty alone on my way back home
Met two guys and I took 'em back along
There were several resolutions on our minds
How we could leave stressin' times behind, yeah

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Welcome brother, can you wait for me?
Show me a better place for yourself and we go free

[Verse 2: Peter Maffay, Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Money for a while did it in my style
Haven't got a dollar to my name
Working for the man, do the best I can
I'm seein' friends who're helpin' me again
There's a four-week tour, I'm waiting for the dates
Lordy, please, now open up the gates, soon

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Welcome brother, glad you're there for me
Show me a better place that will make me feel I'm free
Hold on, brother, can you wait for me?
I'll show you a better time that will let us all be free
[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
There are several resolutions on our minds
How to leave distressing times behind, yeah

[Chorus: Peter Maffay & Johnny Tame]
Welcome brother, glad you're there for me
Show me a better place that will make me feel I'm free
Hold on, brother, can you wait for me?
I'll show you a better time that will let us all be free

[Outro: Johnny Tame]
Free, oh (Hahaha)
A free ride on
