i know the smiles of familiar faces
i’ve spent my life here
in familiar places
so i went down to africa
i saw the pain
in the heart of a nation
in desperation
now i’m living in my own dispair
i’m a traveler on faith
but that vision in my mind
can take a long long time
so i’ve got to wait
i read the books
on the way to each station
but all i took down
was some false information
so i went down to israel
i saw the lights
in the land of creation
the fascination
of living in my own dispair
i’m a traveler on faith
but that vision in my mind
can take a long long time
so i’ve got to wait
yeah i’ve got to wait
i heard the wall in berlin fall
i walked right through
looking for salvation
for the new generation
now i’m living in my own dispair
a traveler on faith
but that vision in my mind
will take a long long time
so i’ve got to wait
