Lyrics
Taking the road less traveled wasn’t always good… but you were near
Spent all my time just doing what I wanted to… without a fear
Finally realized I needed you… all the way
Calling out and hoping that you’ll lead me on
Coming out of Babylon
Been held captive way too long
Like a ship lost at sea I’d been sailing aimlessly
I just couldn’t carry on…in Babylon
Moving my life along from here to there… without a care
Not really knowing what it was I’m searching for… but you were there
Finally realized you needed me…all the way
Reaching out and praying that you’ll lead me on
Coming out of Babylon
When we are weak then we are strong
All the worlds’ a grand disguise with the veil over our eyes
I just couldn’t carry on…in Babylon
All of the faith, All of the hope, All of the love and charity
It’s waiting for you, it’s waiting for me, it’s waiting for us so patiently
I never knew how much you needed me…
All the way
All the way
Coming out of Babylon
He was sent to right this wrong
Don’t shoot the messenger, I pray you can make it out one day
And just couldn’t carry on…
Coming out of Babylon
Coming out of Babylon
Coming out of Babylon – repeat to fade out
