Heading Home

On the streets of New York City
I learned to frown
On the corner of color, class and culture clash
My spine broke down
What the world thought about it, I had to know

I was lost, but I'm heading home
Reaching high, you can fall so low
No more bridges left to burn
That's a place I'll really know
Nowhere to go, trying to find alone
Oh, no

I was lost, but I'm heading home
Oh, you say you want peace, though your heart craves war
Worked that one out, that's what we're all here for
Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
Let's make up our minds and head on home

We know by now
'Cause we've been listening
The sound of love is a song for all
And in my heart I know
I love to hear it

On guiding me, I'm headed home
Headed home
Ha, through rain and fire
Through hurricanes
Through truth and lies
Joy and pain
Through war and hunger
Bounty and peace
We're headed home
