Lyrics
Wayward One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And they cry, and they call
As the wayward walk alone
City lights, urban sprawl
In a place no one should know
Shown no grace, shown no love
These mean streets are meant for none
Take them back to the start
Let the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken
As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let the circle be broken
Broken homes, broken lives
They repeat themselves in time
It's passed on down the line
Till we heal the wounds inside
It's not too late to make things right
Dress the wounds with love's pure light
Take them back to the start
Let the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken
As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let the circle be broken
They're still waiting, they still cry
They want to know they'll be allright
All I'm saying, can we try
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight?
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight?
Take them back to the start
Let the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken
As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let the circle be broken
