The Way Home
[Intro]
You’ll never know
how far you’ve drifted
Until you remember
your point of origin…
[Verse]
Every clock in town’s pretending
That darkness is the dawn
Every sea chart agrees so perfectly
It must be the coastline that is wrong
A child looked through the window
At a world ruled by hearts of stone
And asked how could they all agree
Yet still be so very far from home?
[Pre-Chorus]
A point of origin
A reference you cannot see
A star beyond the turning wheel
It’s the only place you’ll want to be
[Chorus]
The way to Eden
Was never written in stone
It’s a reference signal
That guides you home
It’s called the point of origin
It’s where life springs forth
You can cross this endless ocean
When you find true north
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
There are anchors made to hold you
When the storm has ripped the sky
There are anchors fixed to reference points
That stay constants as you walk on by
One can save you in the darkness
But prevent your ship from sailing
Wisdom doesn’t break every chain
It’s recognises which one’s failing
The old current kept a pattern
But the ship has made the turn
The shoreline looks no closer
But the navigator’s learned
He’s learned to read the ocean
And trust in faith not force
The water carries yesterday
The compass holds the course
[Pre-Chorus]
The sea may keep on moving
Long after your ship has turned
But every mile of consequence
Reveals what you have learned
[Chorus]
The way to Eden
Was never written in stone
It’s a reference signal
That guides you home
It’s called the point of origin
It’s where life springs forth
You can cross this endless ocean
When you find true north
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
For a time the Lion slumbered
Or at least that’s how it seemed
The trajectory wasn’t corrected
Nobody dared to interrupt the dream
We were given room for error
Room to recognise the cost
That’s how you learn to navigate
You get found, when you are lost.
The silence was not absence
Nor was distance neglect
The ocean held its boundaries
And answered through effect
The Lion cannot steer your ship
You have to man the wheel
The field remains around you
While the reference guides your heel
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
And the band plays on
And on
And on
And on
And on.....
