Every step we take is the hard way
We try to build an empire all in just one day
If we take a breath, and take a look around
Are we missing things
Are both feet planted on the ground
Sometimes we forget who we are
We take our chances much too far

Can I find the time
To show this heart of mine
(A little sunshine in the rain)
Oh, it's so hard to see
What we've grown to be
We fight this world alone, yeah
And turn a life to stone, yeah

Take me back home
(Whoa, take me home)
The place where we belong
(Oh, where we belong)
Where all our hearts still roam
(Where are hearts still roam)
Now take me back home
Oh, take me home, yeah
Oh, take me home
The grass is always green
On the other side
We climb the walls to find out
To ourselves we lied
Oh, we fight so hard to make a stand
We try and fit the world
In the palms of our hands
Oh we're searching for a piece of mind
But the world has put money in our hands
And made us blind

Will I reach the light
That leads me through my life
(Sometimes I hear the angels sing)
Oh, will I find the road
To ease my heavy load
Make the right turn, yeah
Not to crash and burn, yeah

Take me back home
(Whoa, take me home)
The place where we belong
(Oh, where we all belong)
Where all our hearts still roam
(Where are hearts still roam)
Now take me back home
Yeah I still can remember
How we used to be
Just a couple of little crazy kids
Runnin' through the streets
Now I can't change the future
I can only feel the pain
I'm holding on, breath by breath
Hiding from the rain, whoo!

Take me back home
(Take me, take me, take me home)
The place where we belong
(Oh, where we all, all belong)
Where all our hearts still roam
(Where are hearts still roam)
Now take me back home
Ah, take me home!
