lyrics

HEY THERE, WHERE ARE YOU GOING

Hey there
Where are you going?
And where have you come from?
I can see
In your eyes
This aint a place that sings your song

You’ve been searching,
Always searching,
But what can’t you find?
You know the place
That you look for
Is right here, just look inside


Brother,
Where are you going?
Is it a place where peace can be found?
You’re not rested
Always frazzled
And your head is hanging down
You keep walking
Always walking
But your feet don’t hit the ground
Don’t you know
That your struggles
Follow you from town to town?

Sister,
Where are you going?
Which is the path you’ll take today?
There’s no solace
In that bottle
It can’t take your tears away
You keep moving,
You're always moving
Yet no matter the distance you roam
I can tell you
What you’re needing
Is a place where roots can grow

Try to seek
A love that’s true
It’s the love
That you feel for you
On your travels
Won't you mend your heart
Cause it's the love we have for ourselves
Where we must start


Hey there
Where are you going?
You know this road is not the way
You can tell
Where it’s leading
If you hear these words I say
You’ve been lying
You're always lying
And now it’s time for truth
You deserve it
Really need it
So the pain can come on through

So try to seek
A love so true
It’s the love
You should feel for you
On your travels
Won't you mend your heart
Cause it's the love you have for yourself
Where you must start

Hey there, where are you going?
Don't you know now
Hey there, where are you going?
Won't you please tell me
Hey there, where are you going?
Hmm, hmm
