We were drivin’ fast straight into the sun We never noticed the approaching rain Now everything that was once familiar Feels so strange

Tossed off of the superhighway
Onto a long and dusty road
Without a map or a star to guide us
Back to our home

So this is where we’ll have to start
With tired eyes and broken hearts
But at least we’re pointed in the same direction

And we’ll be walkin’ that road one step at a time Mile after lonely mile Until we find a place that’s all our own We’ll be walkin’ that road

People stare as we walk on past them
Talk politely as they throw their stones Point out our imperfections So they can hide their own

But we have traveled much too far
To let them hold us back
There’s a price to pay for slowing down to listen

CHORUS
After all that we have learned from being so far down Though we may tire, complain, or stumble We will never turn ourselves around
