This may be a lie or one way to try
To hide what I’m feeling or seek what is right
Each time I turn I can see in your eyes
That I am not there but you know I’m still by your side
If I could bend time you know what I’d do
I’d jump on a wave and ride it all the way to you
Just to lay in the tall grass your head on my heart
Forget all these troubles that keep on tearin’ us apart
Oh let them go and feel the winds begin to blow
Blow us all home
I feel like I’m all alone on this train
The stars they’re all tellin’ me that I’m just another name
Rollin’ through towns that no longer sing
Hear my song and watch me spread my wings
I think that I’m right when I know I should be wrong
To change this old world in the course of this song
All I’ve got is this melody
And a choir full of angels is backing up me
Oh let them know and feel the winds begin to blow
Blow us all home
There's no way for me to tell you I’m here
I know you can feel that I’m gettin’ real near
The place where we were the place where we’ll be
And all of these things can be cast into the sea
Oh let them go and feel the winds begin to blow
Blow us all home
