Lyrics
Take me back to a time where I used to be
Just a boy on a road dying to be free, free
There was the wind and there was a stream
Carrying nothing but what was in between, like me
Oh, I thought I saw a train that would take me home
But I turned around and when I looked back
It was gone
There are roads that head home and those that don't
There are boats that sink and dreams that just won't
But then I saw the pearly gates
And then I saw the world that flew right by me
Then I saw the ones that ain't afraid
And then I heard a call to change
And then I saw a pen hit on a blank page
Then I tried to find a reason to be brave
I'll tell you about what my last wish would be
If I got to leave here quietly
I'd gather all the gold that I could see
And skip it all across a quiet creek
And swim across to the other side
And find a nice spot to get a little high and breathe
And see
That the sky's a long way from the golden fields
And I'm a long way from the gold I used to feel
There's a time to run towards the brightest light
And a time when all you've got's just getting by
But then I saw the pearly gates
And then I saw the world that flew right by me
Then I saw the ones that ain't afraid
And then I heard a call to change
And then I saw a pen hit on a blank page
Then I tried to find a reason to be brave
Ooh, ooh, ooh
But then I saw the pearly gates
And then I saw the world that flew right by me
Then I saw the ones that ain't afraid
And then I heard a call to change
And then I saw a pen hit on a blank page
Then I tried to find a reason to be brave
Ooh, ooh, ooh
