Lyrics

COME, FOLLOW ME

You see no way out
And I see seven
You see only sky
And I see Heaven

You see Death’s end
I see a door
You see less and less
I see more and more

It's been the same
Down through history
Rich men play the war game
Paupers die in misery

Fortune seldom smiles
On men of low degree
The poor are the exiles
Of all humanity

It's the luck of the draw
Can't tell what cards you'll see
Hello, Ma! Hello, Pa!
Now, show me the money.

Penny saved; penny earned
A time-tested theory
A lesson too-late learned
A word to the weary

Catch me now or catch me later
Catch me on the elevator
I'm going down and so are you
Most likely sooner than later

It's a long, hard, hard road
Pretty land mines seem to be planted everywhere
It's a long, hard, hard road
And we all have our rugged crosses to bear

It's a long, hard road we have to travel
It's a long, long way from here to there
It's a long hard road we have to travel
But we'll make it there, I swear

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
No need for you to roam

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
All the way back home

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
No need for you to roam

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
All the way back home

You pray for healing
An end to war
You know one man's ceiling
Can often be another man's floor

The end of daylight
Leads into night
Out of all this darkness
Certainly comes the morning light

I want to tell you
Just what we're gonna do
I want to tell you
We're gonna make it through

I want to tell you
Just where I'm going to
I want to ask you
Why don't you come too?

I carry a fresh flashlight
Yours has a dead battery
We'll both step into the night
Only one of us will see

It's a long, hard, hard road
Pretty land mines seem to be planted everywhere
It's a long, hard road
And we all have our crosses to bear

It's a long, hard road we have to travel
It's a long, long way from here to there
It's a long hard road we have to travel
But we'll make it there, I swear

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
No need for you to roam

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
All the way back home

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
No need for you to roam

Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
All the way back home
