Here as I sit so far away from home
I wonder where I've been
I wonder where I'm going
Give me time to think about my life

Sometimes life seems so hard
Don't seem fair to be so hard
Ma and Pa don't seem to understand
Things change the more they stay the same

I've shed my last tear (over you) today
I'm going back
And that's where I'm going to stay
'Cause my makers given me
The privilege of a view
And it's a choice that I can not refuse

Emptiness like a brown paper bag
Women in the streets, children in rags
Somehow it just don't seem right
We all need time to think about our lives

I've shed my last tear (over you) today
I'm going back
And that's where I'm going to stay
'Cause my makers given me
The privilege of a view
And it's a choice that I can not refuse

Forgo the chorus, the words you'll know
Let's pull together for the final show
I've seen the glory and I've seen the truth
Hold out your hand, no need to be afraid

Here as I sit so far away from home
I wonder where I've been
I wonder where I'm going
Give me time to think about my life
