Lead Me On

I seek shelter from the rain between the houses
I hide far away from cold and bitter streets
I know I want make it to my destination
I know I have too much going against me
But I keep my eyes fixed on a far horizon
And I keep my hands tied to the steering wheel
Even if I didn’t make much of my assets
I hope one day you will set my body free

Lead me on
Lift me up
Take me home
I will follow
In your arms
I belong
I have known it for so long

They say you have turned away from all the faithless
They say your eyes shied away from all our shame
But I find your face reflected on the pavement
And I feel you when I'm walking through the rain
And when I reach my hand up to the next compassion
Someone’s bound to look down at me pretty soon
I know they don’t like it when I meet their gazes
So I keep my eyes fixed firmly at my shoes

Lead me on
Lift me up
Take me home
I will follow
In your arms
I belong
I have known it for so long
