Song Lyrics:

LIKE A PEARL

CHORUS 1:
I've walked a long road
Which some might call the wrong road
But look how far I've come
Look how far I've come
I've come a long way
Some say it's the wrong way
But they don't know where I'm from
They don't care where I'm from
I look to the future but I'm also grateful for the place I've been
Where I've been
I look to tomorrow but I also love the moment that I'm in
That I'm in

Verse 1:
I've been around every city every town
Every valley I've been down, but it's nowhere to be found
I've been up high, seen the castles in the sky
Seen the fledgling learn to fly; haven't found it there, not I
Yesterday I turned my gaze to the north
There was wind and nothing more
Told myself that on that day I'd set forth
To find what I'm looking for

CHORUS 2:
And all the woes of this world
Came together in white, like a pearl
Governments and kings are crying, "One for the money!"
Churches make salvation out of sin
Everybody's searching for the land of milk and honey
When did we forget to look within?

[Rpt. CHORUS 1]

Verse 2:
Deep in the sea, sifting through much debris
That is where I will be, offering my humble plea
Lost in the trees, falling down on my knees
You will hear me calling, "Please, love's the greatest of these!"
Yesterday I turned my gaze to the south
And there I saw a patch of green
I promised then that I would open my mouth
And tell them all what I had seen

[Rpt. CHORUSES 2 and 1]

Verse 3:
Crippled in the dark, raise your voice like a lark
Let your words be a spark, let your actions make their mark
Come into the light, do what you know is right
Let's step out of the night; let us see with new sight
Yesterday I turned my gaze to the east
And there I saw a child in chains
Then, as I watched, that slave was released
And nothing but a scar remains

[Rpt. CHORUSES 2 and 1]
