Stephen Bard - No Easy Way Home

Born and raised to believe
That a dream can come true
If you go out and do
Just what you've got to do
If you break not under
The snake lies they're tellin'
And you take no wonder
In the fake prize they're sellin'
And you make no dare up
You know you can't keep
And you wake no bear up
Who just got to sleep
And you stake your direction
On the road that you roam
Take it straight on down the line
Ain't no way that you resign
Even after you find
There's no easy way home
Now you're out on the highway
And the big trucks are haulin'
And the inmates pick up garbage
As the traffic keeps crawlin'
And the exits are blocked
But there's no explanation
And emotion is locked
In a mass of frustration
And your thoughts are a slick and oily concentration
Keep telling you you're sick
And that you need a vacation
But fear and suspicion
Won't leave you alone
Oh it's hard to fall behind
Hard as blazes on your mind
Even harder to stay kind
When there's no easy way home
As if on cue
The rain begins to fall
You just hang there on the wall
Uninspired by it all
You fear death but then who doesn't?
Is there a method to this madness?
Searching for what wasn't
In a plethora of sadness
Yet you go about it
So damned cavalier
And you punish her what 12 or 13 times a year
And your demons all come 'round
To see you crowned upon the throne
The brand new nothing king
Unaware what's happening
Except for realizing
There's no easy way home
You've been telling yourself
Man it must be for the birds
All those songs up on the shelf
They're just words and words and words and words
And who really cares about what you've got to say?
All them people on the stairs
They're too busy anyway
Going up and down and round and round in churches and in bars
Wondering where faith is at and what's behind the stars
It's so mountainous and grand
And nobody's ever known
How to count each grain of sand
Or every blade of grass that's grown
The earth is just a pebble spinning out there on its own
But take it down the line
Everything will work out fine
It's just part of the design
That there's no easy way home
Just take it down the line
Everything will work out fine
It's just part of the design
Forgiveness is divine
And there's no easy way home
There's no easy way home
That don't mean that you won't get there
That don't mean that you won't get there
Everybody gets there in the end
Everybody gets there in the end
Everybody gets there in the end
Everybody gets there in the end
