Long Way Back Home
Doug & Telisha Williams ©2005

She carries the weight of her own universe
so sure of herslef but she doubting your worth
Her eye's only see what she wants them to see
and to her you'll just be what she wants you to be

Chourus
She'll always be alone
Trapped in a world where she can't see outside
Window shades made up of her own pride
she thinks that we've all got something to hide
It's a long way back home

In the morning she wakes up and chooses a face
and puts on the person she'll be for the day
Then walks down the hall with a falsehearted grace
covers her scars with satin and lace

Day after day, and night after night
The ones who have loved her, she keeps locked out tight
And anyone else who dares criticize
are worthless and evil in her shallow eyes

(Chourus)

And to blame there's a mother who started it all
Taught her to fear before she could crawl
Now she's grown up with a child of her own
and the one thing I pray is she won't pass it on

(Chourus)
