Let's say we take this town. No king or queen of any state. Get up to shut it down. Open the streets and raise the gates.I know a wall to scale. I know a field without a name.. head on without a care Before it's way too late.

All I want, is to be home. People I've loved, have no regrets. Some might remember, some might forget. Some of them livin'. some of them dead. All I want, is to be home

All my life I've been searching for some-thing. Something never comes.never leads to nothing. Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close. Closer to the prize at the end of the rope.
