East of Eden

We've come this far and we can't turn back
This train's run out of track
Seems like there ain't no use to try
Now, I'm not one to abandon hope
But this might be all she wrote
Our destination fades like smoke into the sky

And we've come this far and it's still the same
Standin' out here in the rain
Just one more mile, if only you could fly
Ah, and here we are, east of Eden
So close, you can taste the freedom
Freedom like, like you've never known
Ah, and east of Eden and the Promised Land
Just a castle made of sand
Don't it make you wish you could go home
Ah, don't it make you wish you could go home

Now and all this time, we kept our dream
Nothin' ever came between
Finally, we're standin' at the gate
Ah, the gate is closed and there's a wall
I never thought it would be so tall
Just a piece of paper that seals your fate

Any child can feel the pain
But the high and mighty have no shame
Where you are, is where you must remain

Ah, and here we are, east of Eden
So close, you can taste the freedom
Freedom like, like you've never known
Ah, and east of Eden and the Promised Land
Just a castle made of sand
Don't it make you wish you could go home
Ah, don't it make you wish you could go home

And we've come this far and still the same
Standin' out here in the rain
Just one more mile, if only you could fly
Ah, and here we are, east of Eden
So close, you can taste the freedom
Freedom like, like you've never known
Ah, and east of Eden and the Promised Land
Just a castle made of sand
Don't it make you wish you could go home
Ah, don't it make you wish you could go home
