We come this far and we can't turn back,
[C]This trains run out of track,
[G]Seems like there ain't no use in [D]tryin'
[G]Now I'm not one to abandon hope,
[C]But this might be all she wrote,
[G]Our destination fades like [D]smoke in the s[G]ky.
[Em]And we come this far and it's still the same,
[C]Standin' out here in the rain,
[G]Just one more mile if only you could [D]fly.
Chorus:
[G]Ah, here we are east of Eden,
[C]So close you can taste the freedom,
[G]Freedom like you've never [D]known.
[G]Ah, east of Eden in the promised land,
[C]Just a castle made of sand,
[G]Ah, don't it make you [D]wish you could go [G]home.
[G]Ah, don't it make you [D]wish you could go [G]home.
And all this time we kept our dream,
Nothin' ever came between,
Finally, we were standin' at the gate.
Ah, the gate is closed and there's a wall,
Never thought it would be so tall,
Just a piece of paper seals your fate.
Any child could feel the pain,
But the high and mighty have no shame,
Where you are is where you must remain.
Chorus
