And they cry

And they call

As the wayward walk alone.

City lights

Urban sprawl

In a place no one should know.

Shown no grace

Shown 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

Till we heal the wounds inside.

It's not too late

To make things right

Dress wounds with loves pure light.

[Chorus]

Take them back to the start

Let the purest of heart

Know their worth is still spoken.

They're still waiting

They still cry

They still want to know they'll be all right.

All I'm saying

Can we try?

To bring the wayward ones back home tonight

Bring the wayward one back home tonight.

[Chorus]

Take them back to the start

Let the purest of heart

Know their worth is still spoken.
