Everywhere I've been people ask me why you'd walkSo far away from that soulful sunshineBut it's just no place for me where one man's freedom is only talkI've had to run, hoping just to find mineA couple of years ago a few boys up and left homeTo find a place where greener grass would growAnd though the grass was frozen over and the beaches lined with snow It was a lonely town that we all would come to knowIt took a while to get hereAnd i'll still be here when you're goneIf this is gospel Lord then I've found religionIf I can only hold onThere's a few along the way who've made the nights not seem so longWhose songs lifted us up and cured our painAnd the talk of perfect had kept us up long past the dawnAnd set us free, never to return againWe need to keep ourselves alive long enough to die togetherAnd make it through those rough and windy seasThey tell us all to strive to find a place that's always betterWhat a world to make us all so hard to pleaseIt took a while to get hereAnd i'll still be here when you're goneSongtexteIf this is gospel Lord then I've found religionIf I can only hold onHold onHold onHold onHold onIf this is gospel Lord then I've found religionIf I can only hold onDown the back roads of our memories there's a town we used to knowThat will forever be unchanged and unknownWe see that world as ghost-like photographs through a hazy front windowAnd soon forgot about the innocence we've shownNow the boys are counting cards as we move further down the roadTrying to leave this city behindBut the highway wind with the windows down is getting mighty coldTrying to stay on that straight and narrow lineIt took a while to get hereAnd i'll still be here when you're goneIf this is gospel Lord then I've found religionIf I can only hold onHold onHold onHold onHold onIf this is gospel Lord then I've found religionIf I can only hold on Aus Songtexte Mania
