Asia - Long Way From Home Lyrics






There's a black Siberian
Look a white guy in the sun
Miles away from where the quest begun

From the ice to the sand
Nations moved across the land
Ever since time designed the man

Someday to return
To the place of my birth

I'm a long way from home
But I know where I belong
It's a long way I know
But the heart will still carry me home

Firewater in the blood
Took away the livelihood
Giving thanks every single year

Who the hell
Owns this land?
Is it God or is it man?
With the blood we draw the line again

I'm called to return
To the place of my birth

I'm a long way from home
But I know where I belong
It's a long way I know
But the heart will still carry me home
I'm a long way from home
But I know where I belong
It's a long way I know
But the heart will still carry me home

Asia Long Way From Home Comments
  1. F.... H....

    CRUZEIRO ETERNO

  2. B.... V....

    Both Johns have merits, but Wetton was the heart of the band, Payne the balls, excuse my English. And while you can live without balls, you can't without a heart. The Payne era has its merits for sure, but except for the logo and some reckognizable Downes interventions, this line-up should have had another name than Asia, as it really has no real emotional connection with the only real Asia.

  3. F.... T....

    Now that all is over, I repeat what I said to JW: I love two different bands playing the music we love! JW once said that the new Asia was "a great tribute band". I think what he meant was that Payne was blocking Asias reunion possibilities. Asia was JW's child. Everyone knows that.

  4. W.... D....

    Another great John Payne and Geoff Downes’ song. Although I think John Wetton was one of the great all time musicians, I am incredibly impressed by John Payne’s contribution to Asia.

  5. L.... G....

    Still one of my 100% alltime favs -
    Love it 😎😎😎

  6. J.... G....

    Totally agree with you

  7. M.... B....

    JP would have been better off getting a little more vocal training and applying his talent as an opera singer in Italia.

    JW was exuding warmth and love, openness, vulnerability, joy, loss, and hope in all of his songs, and inhis own special way. Miss him, miss him.

    M.... B....

    Mitch Barr-Elleli yes I agree but he is not able to take Asia on a musical journey like Payne.

  8. C.... N....

    3:07 one of my favorite instrumental pieces to come from the JP line-up
    Edit: I have found an even better song with JP. Moon under the water https://youtu.be/iMEmdR-6T4M

  9. B.... E....

    John Payne the best voice

  10. k.... ....

    Wetton is a much better composer though.

  11. B.... B....

    John Payne is not Asia.

    B.... B....

    Bob Bob Then why are you here if you don't enjoy it? Or are you just saying you think it should be under a different name?

    B.... B....

    He is a 100% 😎✌️✌️✌️

  12. C.... D....

    PAYNE MORE ROCKER...WETTON MORE BALLADS

  13. F.... H....

    BRAZIL.

  14. �.... ....

    この曲好きやけどウェットンの方がいいわ

  15. W.... H....

    Both Wetton and Payne are blessed talents. This is by far the best Payne era CD edging out Aqua.

    W.... H....

    Again someone with a "by far the best"-comment, except that the lady I had in mind someone else here on Youtube claimed exactly the same thing about Aria.

  16. G.... R....

    I like payne's vocal too..  but weton is classic.

    G.... R....

    Gabriel Raphael yes both are good but Payne was able to take Asia on a musical journey without boundaries. He’s my fav!

    G.... R....

    Well wetton was the guy behind many bands, he made the history with a great album on King crimson, a great album on Uriah heep, many albums with asia, and John is great with asia and with Andy Nye too!! I'm a big fan from both.. but the 80's classic feeling keep with Wetton.

  17. O.... B....

    Je partage tout à fait l'avis de Billy McSeato.
    La voix de Payne me touche beaucoup plus que celle de Wetton.

  18. l.... ....

    Theres room in my collection for both ASIA versions... I like them both.  Paynes style is more 'ballsy', but Wetton has an understated mature quality that resonates on specific songs quite well. e.g. 'Thru my veins' from the album OMEGA

  19. D.... ....

    Back To The 80s!

    D.... ....

    This album is late early 2000s.  What do you mean 80s?

    D.... ....

    @Rick OnTheDrums He means it still sounds like an 80's song by an 80's band.It is not that hard to understand.

  20. F.... W....

    I agree with you - I prefer John Payne's Asia.
