Cry for the children 
Sons and daughters left behind 
They walk alone down the trail of tears 
Full of heartache, full of fears 

Stand with open arms 
Waiting for the fall 
But who'll be there to help ya 
When your back's against the wall 

You'll be sailing home before the storm 
Through the night into the dawn 
On the wind I hear your voice calling 
Sailing home before the storm 

Why, cried the people 
Give me shelter from the storm 
They take the road across the bridge of sighs 
No more heartache, the other side 

Ya stand with open arms 
Ya scream into the night 
But who'll be there beside ya 
Can you see the end in sight 

You'll be sailing home before the storm 
Through the night into the dawn 
On the wind I hear your voice calling 
Sailing home before the storm 

Sailing home before the storm 
Through the night into the dawn 
On the wind I hear your voice calling... 

Sailing home before the storm 
Through the night into the dawn 
On the wind I hear your voice calling 
Sailing home before the storm 

Sailing home before the storm 
Through the night into the dawn 
On the wind I hear your voice calling 
Sailing home before the storm
