[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
I have no home, I live within my mind
I have no one, no one, I'm bringing up to the sky with me

[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
No weapon, I carry no sword, only my hands to protect me
No laws, I obey no laws, my spirit is righteous and free

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Her face, the image of a thousand wonders
A bridge between today and yesterday
If I pull her close what will the spirit say?

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
I have no home, I live within my mind
I have no one, no one, I'm bringing up to the sky with me

[Post-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Her face, the image of a thousand stars
A bridge between tomorrow and today
If we destroy one another, dawn will never break the day

[Bridge: Eric Bloom]
Day breaks, but there is no light
In my mind, a voice calling (A voice calling)
Spirit singing, a song of the ages
Depend on today, like father's honor
She has come to take it away!
