Alter Bridge - Wayward One

 ★ 



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 this 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 wounds with loves 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 this circle be broken



They're still waiting

They still cry

They still want to know they'll be all right

All I'm saying

Can we try?

To bring the wayward ones back home tonight

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 this circle be broken
