Never Gonna Go Back Home

little girl looks for her brother
water’s flowing over the stone
mother’s under six feet of rubble
daddy’s gone and left them alone
tears pouring into the streets
risin' up like a river
darkness cries a moaning midnight song
she’s seven miles from nowhere
patience fading
she can’t run away
but she’s never gonna go back home
hope, help her through the winter
but hope, like a fire, burns
love find a hand to lift her
but love like a season turns
tears pouring into the streets
risin' up like a river
darkness cries a moaning midnight song
she’s seven miles from nowhere
patience fading
she can’t run away
but she’s never gonna go back home
she can’t run away
but she’s never gonna go back home
