Wayward One Lyrics

And they cry
And they call
As the wayward walk alone

City lights
Urban sprawl
In a place no one should know

Show no grace
Show no love
These mean streets are meant for none

Chorus:
Take them back to the start
Let the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken
As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let this circle be broken

Broken homes
Broken lives
They repeat themselves in time

It's passed on
Down the line
’Til we heal the wounds inside

It's not too late
To make things right
Dress the wounds with love's pure light

(Chorus)

They're still waiting
They still cry
They want to know they’ll be alright

All I'm saying
Can we try?
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight
Bring the wayward one back home tonight

(Chorus)

why people believe that alter bridge is a christian band (specially creed fans) as tremonti says again and again in every event that alter bridge is not a christian band.. maybe creed was a christian band because of stapp and that was the reason for the destruction of creed.

are you saying that because a band claims to be Christian, it would be the start of it's downfall? how stupid.

They aren't a christian band, however they are christian. Every now and then, a song reflects their beliefs. The core moral code of the christian faith is a great and often inspired topic for ever genre.

For you to state that creed's death in career was due to christian faith is naive.

they don't BELIEVE alter bridge is christian but i think it's like a game for guys to attach religious thing to a band. specially when it consists three member of creed. it starts with a song which usually has the word "god", "heaven" or "hell". some guys interpret it as a christianity because it's the easiest thing for them after drugs and addiction of course! then other guys admit it without even thinkin' a little bit about it and so it begins. look at "One Day Remains" songs for example. it's really strange how every song mean religious to some guys. personally i didn't like creed and i don't care if they were christian but Alter Bridge definitely are not.

it's true somehow what you said but i don't know why you mentioned it here? i think Wayward One is about rape and taking rights with violence. it obviously doesn't have any chance for christian meaning!

wayward means "erratic or unpredictable"

i think whats its trying to say is that heres so many problems with peoples life nowadays that they've forgotten how to be care-free. he's saying its a cold world without the "Wayward ones" and he wants somebody to bring them back so the world could be a better place

ok let me share my views. well i think the wayward means a person on the journey or on the way or out of home.( without any reason or something like that ) and myles says in song that before they realize like other people that everything is over for them. we should bring them back to home.

BROKEN HOMES BROKEN LIVES THEY REPEAT THEMSELVES IN TIME.

i think that means that they repeat their mistakes again and again and they never realize that they are away from their home and their homes are like empty and broken without them and their families hearts are like broken.

so the whole meaning of this song is that we should bring them (wayward ones) back to home. before they waste their lives in a useless way.

alter bridge rox

luv this band

keep up the gud job guyz.

Cover art for Wayward One lyrics by Alter Bridge

correct the lyrics my friend

City lights, broken sprawl, in a place no one can know.

its

city lights urban sprawl in a place no one should know

know their word is still spoken. As they fight to exist, we neglect and recess. Let the circle be broken.

its

know their worth is still spoken as they fight to exist we neglect and resist let the cycle be broken.

They're still waiting. They still cry. The one love: they'll be alright.

its

They're still waiting. They still cry. They wanna know: they'll be alright.

to me this song is one onf my faves it informs us not to take everyone for grated and reach out for the ones that are lost and put them on the right path this also reminds me that every one is a child of god and this song reminds me that we sholud look uptowds the less forsent and show that we do care

Cover art for Wayward One lyrics by Alter Bridge

is it possible this song is about those who choose a life of prostitution? as vague as it is, it's a concept that seemed to stand out for me when i listen to the lyrics closely.

... well... I don't see it that way, but but a song made to be interpreted personally... so why not!? lol
