Traffic - Far From Home (1999) by Traffic (보컬) on maniadb.com

Don't be afraid love when the storm comes
We're gonna make it through on our own
Don't you, don't you ever let go of my love
Think about it, if you believe then it will be

We'll be riding high and we won't look down
See our spirits flying to that higher ground

Over and over oh, the storm raged
I held you in my arms to keep you warm
No, you, no, you never let go of my love
Through the darkness you were the light that shone on me

Every step I took through everything I've done
When the lightning struck you were the only one

You ride on the swing in and out of the bars
Capturing moments of life in a jar
Playing with children, acting as stars
Guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind
Take extra care not to lose what up feel
The apple you're eating is simple and real
Water the flowers that grow at you heel
guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind

I can't afford to take a rest, I'm heading out towards the sun
And find the place where I once saw a new life starting
It's not so far to get there, it's waiting up around the bend
Don't know if I'll be back again
Through the night I'm flying, moving like a raven
To the night unfolding I call your name
To the night I whisper, to the night I pray
Through the night I'm racing
Far from home
I've always tried to do my best, I never cheated anyone
Not like the place where they once turned the wine into water
Running from all pretensions, nothing blocking up my view
No more feeling black and blue
'Cause tonight I'm not a lonely man, yes tonight, oh tonight
Keep holding on to false directions, they'll never set you free
You got to stop the world and let it be, then maybe you will see

Locked out of Eden for failing the test
They just can't live like all of the rest
Speakin' in tongues without any rhyme
Ragged outcasts on the wastelands of time

Easy rider coming down the road
Easy rider overload

Looking for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace
But nowhere is their freedom
Nowhere is their freedom

Red flames of fire reflect in her eye
Masked by the smoke that's floatin' on high
Seizin' the road, reaches the sky
Like a falcon, she just wants to fly

Dark clouds gather on the edge of the mist
Hear her laughter and she's gone

Lookin' for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace
Nowhere is their freedom
Nowhere is their freedom

There's always one more mountain to climb
But we are all lost, travelers in time
Long way from home

You always fear what you don't understand
Choosing to live in Disneyland
They polish the children, polish the grass
Definitely in a different class

All is magic on a mushroom ride
It's so tragic when you realize

Looking for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace
Nowhere is their freedom

Nowhere is their freedom, no
Nowhere is their freedom
Nowhere, no
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
No no no
Oh nowhere no nowhere

What are we doing to this holy ground
This land that God gave to us all?
'Cause everywhere I hear that crashing sound
Trees make when they fall

Why can't we understand when it turns to sand
There's no way you can bring it back again?
Why don't we change the plan, try to save this land
And make a promise not to hurt again?

This holy ground, this holy ground
This holy ground, this holy ground

What are we doing to this sacred heart
This heart that's beating for us all? Ooh
'Cause everywhere I see it torn apart
Tears like rain will fall

Why don't we take the time, take a look inside
Try to understand what's going wrong?
Stop trying to change the tide, overcome our pride
Take off our shoes, this place we're standing on

Is holy ground, is holy ground
Is holy ground, is holy ground

Get out of doing the things you do in the dark
Keep the flame alive in your heart

What are we doing to the children's lives
The ones we shouldn't hurt at all?
'Cause in the night I hear their lonely cries
So frail and small

How can we just stand by, watch them fade and die
Before they even reach the age of ten?
Why don't we heal the pain, take away this shame
Make a vow to give them back again?

This holy ground, this holy ground
This holy ground, this holy ground

This holy ground, this holy ground
This holy ground, this holy ground

This oh, holy ground, holy ground
Holy ground, holy
Are you there? Holy ground, oh, oh no
Holy ground, holy

Heats the message that you send
One look at you, I'm burning up inside
You know that I'd give up anything
I can't get enough when you get next to me
Oh you, hey, some kinda woman
You some kinda woman
You cut a notch every time a heart is breaking
One time and then you, oh, never let 'em off
Once you've fixed your sightsv Oh, I want you, I want to tie you to me
Oh, don't hesitate, you got the touch to set me free
I'm like a kid standing outside your door
You make me feel like never before
I feel the heat rising up in my soul
I'm burning out of control
Oh, break down this heat 'cause what you're doing just makes me weak
The way you stand there in your clothes, giving me a look like Edward G.
And then you start to shake the place
And then you lock on tight to the groove
Oh, I want to get it on, looking for the chance to make a move
Look into my heart for what you want
Saying that you will and then you won't
Look into my heart for what you want
Saying that you do and then you don't

I don't know how long I can take it
There's times when I don't think I can make it through, baby
Don't know what you and me are gonna do, baby. Hey, baby
You know it's time to face up to what is wrong
I lie awake at night, I can't sleep while you're lying there
This feeling worries me, I can see it's going nowhere
Oh baby, now I just work all day trying to earn my pay
Oh, is it worth it now to sweat all day and see it slip away
Every night, every day, I keep feeling the same old way
Every night, every day, I keep feeling the same old way
Now then I've been thinking' about it
You say that it's okay - it'll be all right, baby. Hey, baby
But that's fine when all you do is party every night, baby
You say my clothes are soiled and my hands ain't clean
But I'm working overtime checking' every wheel is locked in tight
On that production line, baby, running at the speed of light
Oh, have mercy now, when you look that way and you start to play
Then oh, I'm burning up. I tell you one more day, I'm gonna fade away
It's the same old way, baby, it's the same old way now
It's the same way, it's just the same old way, hangs me up all day

Sometimes your life can be sidetracked
Getting lost in things you don't need
But we all lose direction
In a world of greed

People's lives end in ruin
Some people's lives never start
Someone knows what you're doing
Deep in your heart

In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace

There's a world never ending
Sorrow and pain don't exist
We can live there together
You can't resist

'Cause when you think you can't take it
Dreams disappear into space
Trust in your heart, you can make it
When you're living, living in a state of grace

Nothing worse than sorrow
Of loved ones you have lost
You can't face tomorrow
You can't bear the cross

Just remember that darkness
In this world has no place
You've got so much to give now
You're living

In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace

In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved [Incomprehensible] spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace

Living, state of grace
Oh, oh, state of grace
Baby, when you are living
[Incomprehensible]

Hey, hey, living
Living, living, oh, oh, yeah, oh
[Incomprehensible], hey
Living in a state of grace
