Homewardbound

The dust of the road smarts my eyes but the view remains clear
Not long ago I realized I was filled with fear

The choices I've made have seldom been wise
But I'm convinced that this one will be
So open your door for this traveling man
It's my utmost plea

Gaze out of the window
Soon you will se a drifter whose journey is over
Once so aspiring, once so profound
But loser in the end now homewardbound

Pleaese don't call me a prodigal son
Don't make me lose my face
The lesson's been learnt
The class is dismissed
I'm not a man of power and place

But why should I hide my past
And try to be something that I'm not
I will stand up for what I've done
And be proud of what I've got

Gaze out of the window
Soon you will se a drifter whose journey is over
Once so aspiring, once so profound
But loser in the end now homewardbound

Better to be hated for who you are
Than to be loved for who you are not
Better to be scorned for what you've done
