Alter Bridge - 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

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 the cycle be broken

Broken walls, 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 the wounds with love's pure light

Take them back to the start
Where the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken

As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let the circle be broken

They're still waiting, they still cry
They wanna know they'll be alright
All I'm saying, can we try?
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight

Take them back to the start
Where the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken

As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let the circle be broken
