This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Woke up from my sleep to the sound of that voice
From the words that I heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
Will i ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind
The plans that I had were quickly destroyed
The problem was one I couldn't avoid
They welcomed me to stay overnight
I'm too tired to complain so I just might
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
To the place I recognise
Far from here and where I've been
And all the things that I've been shown
Will I ever make it home
Can they keep me here for good
Where I hardly know a soul
And my fear keeps going on
Weariness keeps growing inside
My patience is starting to subside
And I hope I'll be there soon
It can't be long or I'll fall through
Woke up from my sleep to the sound of that voice
From the words that I heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
Will i ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind
'Til there is no turning back
Will I ever make it home
Get to where I want to be
Find the ones who wait for me
To the place where I belong
Will I ever make it home
Will I ever make it home
Will I ever make it home
From the words that I heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
Will i ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind
The plans that I had were quickly destroyed
The problem was one I couldn't avoid
They welcomed me to stay overnight
I'm too tired to complain so I just might
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
To the place I recognise
Far from here and where I've been
And all the things that I've been shown
Will I ever make it home
Can they keep me here for good
Where I hardly know a soul
And my fear keeps going on
Weariness keeps growing inside
My patience is starting to subside
And I hope I'll be there soon
It can't be long or I'll fall through
Woke up from my sleep to the sound of that voice
From the words that I heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
Will i ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind
'Til there is no turning back
Will I ever make it home
Get to where I want to be
Find the ones who wait for me
To the place where I belong
Will I ever make it home
Will I ever make it home
Will I ever make it home
