Was tossed along that jungle trail There was nothing there, just thorns and nails Had no skin, no fur to wear But I straggled through the storm In a search to find my home Now I climbed the mountain and I pleaded with the sky There was no one around, just some dark clouds in reply But I offered some berries and a tear in my eye Cause I was on my own So far away from home home Chorus: There's a fire burning inside me Makes the lame walk and the blind to see Here I am wandering on what I should be The old earth, the moon, the sun Some wings to rise the dawn Now time's tickin' like a melancholy friend Ticks the beginning, and the middle and the end But if I close my eyes and just pretend There's shelter in this song Like a river flowin' home home Repeat chorus
