lyrics

Meet me at the rail track
Where the people ride a carriage thinking it will take them to their dreams
A journey of delusion
To that final destination, a place that you and I will never reach

Been flying around in circles, looking for a reason to come down,
Touched down in the middle of nowhere
It's going to be a long walk home

Help me fight my demons
Cos I'm struggling 1 on 1 and each day I find it hard to beat them down
Give me a direction
Show me the path to take guide me by my hand show me the way

Been flying around in circles, looking for a reason to come down,
Touched down in the middle of nowhere
It's going to be a long walk home

Looking down or up is no good
What you're looking for is not understood
Time has come decisions made
Now be a man and don't be afraid

Give me all my strength lord
As I'm running into battle, the time has come for me to show my worth
I'll do what I know best now, then ask for forgiveness, maybe someday I can find my peace.......but until then..

I'm still flying around in circles in need of a reason to come down
If I ever choose to touch down
It's going to be a long walk home

A long walk home (repeat)
