Alter Bridge - Wayward One Lyrics






And they cry
And they call
As the wayward walk alone

City lights
Urban sprawl
In a place no one should know

Shown no grace
Shown no love
These mean streets are meant for none

[Chorus:]
Take them back to the start
Let the purest of heart
Know their worth is still spoken

As they fight to exist
We neglect and resist
Let this circle be broken

Broken homes
Broken lives
They repeat themselves in time

It's passed on
Down the line
Till we heal the wounds inside

It's not too late
To make things right
Dress wounds with loves pure light

[Chorus]

They're still waiting
They still cry
They still want to know they'll be all right

All I'm saying
Can we try?
To bring the wayward ones back home tonight
Bring the wayward one back home tonight

[Chorus]

  1. m.... s....

    why they are so under rated!!! why???

  2. A.... A....

    The end of the song is perfect, for me its the best song in this album

  3. I.... ....

    such a great song 2:56 part on was so melodic and dreamy.

  4. A.... C....

    Dunno why, but I see Tenacious D singing Classico... :D

  5. P.... F....

    My favorite song

  6. V.... A....

    Esse é o som

  7. S.... S....

    Probably best song after Blackbird in this album

    S.... S....

    Really?

    S.... S....

    Saba S I agree, I love the chorus. Amazing.

    S.... S....

    Buried alive , come to life , white knuckles , before tommorow comes ?

    S.... S....

    Probably, arguably, their best song and best album

  8. S.... F....

    This is real art

  9. J.... f....

    That breakdown is absolute perfection

  10. D.... P....

    That Outro. Damn!

  11. N.... N....

    Take them Bach to the start

  12. F.... ....

    beautiful

  13. i.... ....

    my lord that outro solo

  14. C.... ....

    After listening to the intro, I get tempted to go and listed to Incubus's 11am. The intros are so similar!

    C.... ....

    CookerMe two great bands with amazingly talented singers/songwriters.

  15. H.... ....

    Song of my life.

  16. E.... ....

    The Chorus reminds me of Bourree by Bach

    E.... ....

    +EdenHighlands True, the begin of chorus is very similar

    E.... ....

    that's where mark (the lead guitarist) got the inspiration from.

    E.... ....

    Ahh, I came here to see if anyone remembered what that was. You made my day!

  17. C.... T....

    in the near future we should end homeless , there should be homeless awareness month

  18. t.... w....

    0 dislikes, how it should be :)

    t.... w....

    +Caadran TreArch you just like to watch the world burn don't you

    t.... w....

    You can say i like to, Find The Real, and Burn It Down. ;)

    t.... w....

    @Caadran TreArch lol. but now that you say it, I can hear the flaws you said earlier. It's a shame. But the lives are still awesome :D

    t.... w....

    Who knows?

    t.... w....

    you jinxed it!!!!!!

  19. A.... A....

    BEWARE fellow YouTubers. This band is not what they seem. They copied the riff from Devin Townsend's "Bastard".

    A.... A....

    @Autumn Aly Man, they have like 4 notes in common, that's all.

    A.... A....

    Dude fucking chill. Just because there is a small similarity between 2 songs doesn't mean that they stole it. Just fucking shut up and let me enjoy my music. I'm pretty sure everyone else agrees. Fuck off and go elsewhere with that shit

    A.... A....

    All rock is copy

    A.... A....

    A little late to the response party, but everything good is a copy of originality

  20. F.... T....

    Where´s lyrics?

    F.... T....

    @Fabio Tovar Requena In the description my friend

  21. R.... M....

    Goosebump alert!

  22. W.... ....

    that intro.......sad but epic guitar......

  23. S.... I....

    That was the first thing I noticed when I listened to this song haha but I thought that made it even more awesome

  24. T.... M....

    Does anyone else hear bourree?

    T.... M....

    Totally agree with you! I take that as a tribute to either Bach or Jethro Tull (as the theme has been sped upas in Bourre from Jetrho Tull)

  25. W.... ....

    Myles Kennedy wrote these lyrics.... \m/ He is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist and then you have-

    Mark Tremonti- Lead guitarist, backing vocals
    Brain Marshall- Bass
    Scott Philips- Drums

  26. S.... ....

    TOTALLYY AWESOME!! \m/ as always!

  27. t.... ....

    this brings tears to my eyes

  28. r.... ....

  29. H.... ....

    Beautiful lyrics. Really, really beautiful. Whoever wrote them was really blessed with a great spirit.

    H.... ....

    The vocalist wrote it, Myles Kennedy.
