Son of Adam Lyrics

I held this city in a different light

Held it like the apple of my eye

Oh, I dreamed it something special

Held on to it tight

I held this city in a different light

Now sirens go blaring in the streets

Sirens come calling out to me

Singing from their coral and swimming from the reefs

Oh, Sirens come calling out to me

Well I found myself along the coast line

Panning and digging for some gold

Buried beneath deep in the sand

Only coming up with empty hands

Waiting for the some tell tale sign

On a billboard or some holy light

To pick me up, and tell me how to see

Through the shadows, that I dream

Oh, Son of Adam, tell me who to be

Son of Adam tell me who to be

I'm nearer to the end of this road

Been walking like a pilgrim, on my own

Traipsing through my penance

Lord, give me some friendships

I'm still walking lonesome on my own

It's easy to get lost behind the wheel

Easy to be lost when I feel

That oh, my path is crooked

And you're something I can't find

Just hoping you're there in the by and by

Oh I'm hoping you're there in the by and by
