This is my song on religion. I feel that there is no longer compassion, understanding or love in religious institutions. We’ve forgotten that it’s people we should be connecting with and not the brick, mortar and politics of the so called God houses. There are great people in religion, but sadly it seems a lot of politicians too.

lyrics
Verse 1:
I’ve read the holy books from front to back,
they have given birth, to a confused, lonely man.
I’ve listened to preachers, rabbis, muftis, monks,
holy men of god, who can tear the world apart.
Chorus:
Love will save us all some say, but I can’t pray,
for love is in our hearts just find it.
My soul will lead me, find my heart and find my love,
Let it all flow free and share the joy.
Lord, can I come home.
Verse 2:
The wisest people told me god is in our hearts and in our souls,
Not in holy books or with religious fools.
People are the answer, the wisdom, the heart, the soul, the road,
that leads you home. So just listen, they’ll set you free.
Chorus:
Love will save us all some say, but I can’t pray,
for love is in our hearts just find it.
My soul will lead me, find my heart and find my love,
Let it all flow free and share the joy.
Lord, can I come home.
Bridge:
I’ve been angry; I’ve been blaming the world for all that has gone wrong.
I’ve been running around with my head up in my ass.
I’ve been lonely, I’ve been hurt, I’ve been doing it hard but now it’s all so clear.
It’s just me who’s making it tough, lord can I come home.
Verse 3:
I’ve been roaming; I’ve searched the corners of the earth
And all I’ve learnt is how people have been hurt.
There was no holy grail or answers that I sought, only people who are
Happy, angry, loving hurting, hating, wanting to be heard.
Chorus:
Love will save us all some say, but I can’t pray,
for love is in our hearts just find it.
My soul will lead me, find my heart and find my love,
Let it all flow free and share the joy.
Lord, can I come home.
Oh I say lord, can I come home.
