Take Me Back

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
