Returning to ideals of youth - innocence and beliefs free of cynicism

The older you get the harder it is to undo all you've learned and experienced. Take Me Back is about reconciling all that you are with what you were aspiring to be.

Can't remember

Take Me Back

Take me back to the road I know
Down south where the sun is warm
Take me back to the road I know
Where a heart of love warms a heart of stone

Well I?ve been gone a long, long time
Seems at times I?m doing fine
Hear the echo, hear the sound
What goes out always comes around

So take an axe and make it sharp
Cut in deep and cut in hard
Through the deadwood, though the bark
It takes a sun to melt a frozen heart

Over mountains, under flood
I have wandered, I have strayed
Through the valleys and the blood
Time to get back home and mend my way

Take me back to the road I know
Down south where the sun is warm
Take me back to the road I know
Where a heart of love beats a heart of stone
