Had a date with all the sinners
Tried to take a step inside
The world of hate, greed and anger
Of pain and wounded pride

Tried to take that one step closer
To discover the dark side of life
And it filled me up with madness
It ended in inner strife

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Take me back where it began
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause the way back home is long
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Take me back where it began
All the things that I've been through
Remind me I belong to you
Take me back where I belong

Had a date with all the winners
Saw a world of fading light
Happy faces behind the surface
All thoughts just black and white

Tried to deal with my confession
Tried to cover up with all those lies
But in the end I stood there with nothing
Turned to a master of disguise

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Take me back where it began
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cause the way back home is long
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Take me back where it began
All the things that I've been through
Remind me I belong to you
Take me back where I belong

Ahh-ah-ahh ah-ahh ah-ahh
Ahh-ah-ahh ah-ahh ah-ahh
Had a date with the sinners (ahh-ah-ah)
Tried to take a step inside (ah-ah ah-ah)
The world of hate, greed and anger (ahh-ah-ah)
Of pain and wounded pride (ah-ah ah-ah)

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Take me back where it began
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause the way back home is long
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Take me back where it began
All the things that I've been through
Remind me I belong to you
Take me back where I belong

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
