Long way home
Hannah And The Boy Lyrics

There was a busy man and an outstretched hand
A man who was occupied with his own affairs and someone extending a helping hand.

Saying hey man have a heart
Inviting the man to show compassion and empathy.

But he will not be a part of just, you know
However, he refuses to join in and help others in need.

Giving a man a fish for a day
Providing immediate assistance but not addressing the underlying problem.

But the girl right behind him said
Yet, the girl standing near him expressed a different perspective.

Hey man, never mind him
She suggests ignoring his unwillingness to help.

I don't have very much but what if you and me get some lunch
Despite not having many resources, she suggests sharing a meal with him.

Well he hated them both as he walked away.
However, he despised both of them and chose to leave.

Because he had a long way home
His journey back to a place of compassion and understanding was distant.

Well he said, My mistress's eyes, they're nothing like the sun
In another context, he compared his mistress's eyes unfavorably to the brilliance of the sun.

But they're so perfect, they're so beautiful to me
Nevertheless, he finds his mistress's eyes to be flawless and captivating in his own eyes.

But she shrank from his grip, bit her lower lip, as she cried
However, she recoiled from his touch, nervously biting her lip, and shedding tears.

Why do you mock me? Why do you mock me
She questioned his intention of making fun of her or treating her with ridicule.

She had a long way home
She had a challenging journey ahead to find her true worth and self-acceptance.

He had a long way home
Similarly, he needed to embark on a profound inner journey of self-discovery and redemption.

They had a long way home
Both of them together faced a daunting path of healing and finding their places in the world.

They say that beauty runs all the way down
People often believe that physical attractiveness permeates a person's entire being.

She's no princess of popularity
However, she does not conform to society's idealized standards of popularity and desirability.

And if I could catch a glimpse of a mystic's playlist
If only I could glimpse into the personal preferences and tastes of a wise and enlightened individual.

It might teach me how to see
Such insight could potentially enlighten me and broaden my perspective.

But we've got a long way home
Nevertheless, we still have a significant journey ahead of us.

Hey we've got a long way home
Hey, together we face a challenging path towards finding our true selves and our place in the world.
