My Own Way Home
Russell Allen & Jørn Lande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There’s no one here to ask
No one here will guide
And show me where to go
Who am I to know?

Too many crossroads in my way
Too many unanswered questions left
I can’t remember how I came here

Chorus:
But I won’t lose my faith
I never have, I never will
I won´t give up, I’m gonna find my own way home
But I won’t lose my faith
I never have, I never will
I won’t give up
I need to find my own way home

Many days and nights have passed
Many miles I walked in vain
The world is silent here
I can only hear my heartbeat

There’s no life inside
No sound of hope
It seems so far right now to find horizon

But I won’t lose my faith
I never have, I never will
I won’t give up, I’m gonna find my own way home
But I won’t lose my faith
I never have, I never will
I can’t give up
I need to find my own way home

Journey without an end
I’m reaching for the world
I travel over unknown lands
As I cry inside my lonely soul





Chorus
