Ain't Got So Far To Go

I am young, but I remember

It was not so long ago

In a line so bright and shiny

This is how the story goes

In the kingdom, there was chaos

And the land was filled with fear

There was hatred, there was envy

In between the rich and poor

Oh the water's rising

How will we get to the other shore?

Many hearts are broken

But we ain't got so far to go

No we ain't got so far to go

In a den of prostitution

To a girl both frail and weak

A child was born who had no father

So she left it on the street

But the child was raised by strangers

Who loved and fed and taught him well

And when he saw the land in darkness

Something changed inside himself

Oh the water's rising

How will we get to the other shore?

Many hearts are broken

But they ain't got so far to go

No we ain't got so far to go

Then it came, the revolution

And the child was filled with fire

And he led us onto victory

And he seemed so strong and wise

But the big fish ate the small ones

It's the way of history

And all the while

Once came for vengeance

I return in mystery

I return in mystery

I miss you more than ever

This is not where I belong

When I see my baby dancing

I will know my work is done

When you hear that guitar playing

You won't have so far to go

Won't have so far to go

'Cause we ain't got so far to go
