I set out from home
A long time ago
Searching and roaming these hills
Naïve like a child
Stepped into the wild
Among the scoffers and wolves
And I know you are with me
Still I forget thee
I've come to the end of the road
And I tried and I tried
Held onto my pride
Been doing this all on my own
Won't you carry me back home
Well it wasn't long
'Til my money was gone
I'd beg
I'd borrow
I'd steal
What had I become
Pecking for crumbs
Among the lions and thieves
And I know you are with me
Still I forget thee
I've come to the end of the road
And I tried and I tried
Held onto my pride
Been doing this all on my own
Won't you carry me back home
I whispered that prayer
And you met me right there
Won't you carry me back home
