Taking the road less traveled wasn’t always good… but you were near

Spent all my time just doing what I wanted to… without a fear

Finally realized I needed you… all the way

Calling out and hoping that you’ll lead me on

Coming out of Babylon

Been held captive way too long

Like a ship lost at sea I’d been sailing aimlessly

I just couldn’t carry on…in Babylon

Moving my life along from here to there… without a care

Not really knowing what it was I’m searching for… but you were there

Finally realized you needed me…all the way

Reaching out and praying that you’ll lead me on

Coming out of Babylon

When we are weak then we are strong

All the worlds’ a grand disguise with the veil over our eyes

I just couldn’t carry on…in Babylon

All of the faith, All of the hope, All of the love and charity

It’s waiting for you, it’s waiting for me, it’s waiting for us so patiently

I never knew how much you needed me…

All the way

All the way

Coming out of Babylon

He was sent to right this wrong

Don’t shoot the messenger, I pray you can make it out one day

And just couldn’t carry on…

Coming out of Babylon
