Rollo Armstrong - Take the Long Way Home lyrics

I lift ya off the earth, mundane and glum Out the solar system, way past the sun Till all the fear in your heart is gone And so on Mm Walkin' through the world with no pressure Inner peace beyond measure I was leaving, wearing what I came in When a man said, "Stop" "I wanna have what you have and get what you got" I got it sleepin' rough on the streets in the rain I got it learnin' to share my people's pain I got it makin' flowers grow in hearts of stone I got it 'cause I always take the long way home I been walking through the world with no pressure Air's fresher, full of vigour Life becomes my mirror The further I go, the more I know Oh, yeah, wherever the wind blow I'll be there Turned up in places that I never intended to go And so ended my youth I once depended on proof Now I'm in the flow There are things I know beyond knowing I've never seen a seed growin' I was going back home When a man said, "Stop" "I wanna have what you have and get what you got"
