Im a young man walking,
down this lonely road,
this road don't bare no turnings I'm alone so help me lord.

Face to face with all my deepest lies,
searching through the darkest land,
as I'm walking I'm wiping the tears from my blurry eyes,

and wipe the blood off my dirty hands.

They called me a man in the dark,

they told me I was loosing my righteous ways,
father said son you need god,
or else your gonna end up like the devils slave.

Daddy well whats the use of Jerusalem,
where theres people killing kids over squares of land,
I thought you told me I should believe like them,

I guess we'll keep on praying to this faith we don't understand.

Their hearts are full of hate,

and there minds are full of rage,
got them going all insane,
lord jus help them turn the page.

Its like I'm lost up in this war,
got me feeling like a convict,
and I've been in this place before,

and the fight just don't seem worth it coz

Im a young man walking,

down this lonely road,
this road don't bare no turnings I'm alone so help me lord.
Face to face with all my deepest lies,

searching through the darkest land,
as I'm walking I'm wiping the tears from my blurry eyes,
and wipe the blood off my dirty hands.


They called me a man in the dark,
they told me I was loosing my patriot ways,

my countryman gave me a gun,
and told me to shoot-shoot-shoot everything in my way.
But general whats the use in me killing men,

when we preach the word of peace with these guns in our hands,
and yet you tell me you want me to aim my gun at them,
I guess we'll keep on fighting for this cause we don't understand.


It's like their lives are torn apart,
they were the ones to bite the dust,

first you leave them in the dark,
and now your asking for there trust,
I've got no energy left,

lord just help me through the pain,
I've fallen down in the depth,
lord just guide me through the rain.


Im a young man walking,
down this lonely road,

this road don't bare no turnings I'm alone so help me lord.
Face to face with all my deepest lies,
searching through the darkest land,

as I'm walking I'm wiping the tears from my blurry eyes,
and wipe the blood off my dirty hands.


Jew, Gentile, black men, white.
We all want to help one another.
Human beings are like that.

We want to live by each others'
happiness, not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.

In this world there is room for everyone.

Im a young man walking,

down this lonely road,
this road don't bare no turnings
I'm alone so help me lord.

Face to face with all my deepest lies,
searching through the darkest land,
as I'm walking I'm wiping the tears from my blurry eyes,

and wipe the blood off my dirty hands.
