Wake up all alone Takes a while to recognize The world that I had seen Just before I closed my eyes For how far I've come There's still so far that I must go And I know The trail I'm walking down Never leads me home Day by day I stride The endless views pass me by Longing for a home I tire of the endless goodbyes All these different faces Start to look the same to me And I see The trail I'm walking down Never leads me home All the places that I've been All the faces that I've seen The trail will never lead me home All the people every day All the different things they say The trail will never lead me home From the cradle to the grave The lonely life is what they gave The trail will never lead me home In the end I heed the call But I'm the one who's seen it all The trail will never lead me home
