If you walk so far your knees give out
Can't say you've given up?
If you dig so deep you can't climb your way out
Dirt just covers up
If you swim out past the channel markers
The tide won't bring you home
Though you're pleasing all their senses
You still die all alone
Then fate calls you a one man show
A far cry from home
Take your next step nice and slow
A far cry from home
More than wood and nails and gypsum
It ain't just brick and mortar
It kept the cold away from you
Kept you from moving forward
An endless war between your soul and
Things the others tell
Steeps inside your head and scalds you
It's dangerous as Hell
So the world gave you the big heave-ho
A far cry from home
What's more than less but less than more
A far cry from home
Then fate calls you a one man show
A far cry from home
Take your next step nice and slow
A far cry from home
