Well, you've travelled the highways and you've travelled the world.
There ain't much left you haven't seen or heard.
To look for perfection is a lonley old ride,
it takes a whole lot of of courage and a whole lot of pride.
And then one day when you really care
she touches your soul, but you're far too scared.
Well, I should have known, we all need a place to call home.

4. (Same as verse) Come poets and writers, come spare me some time.
Come tell me the reason, come tell me the rhyme.
When you look for independence and you get what you want,
how come you look back thinking what have I done?
But time and again it dawns on me,
it's the price we pay for liberty.
