Woke up this morning
To the song
on the radio
Bout a heart that was broken
By a love gone wrong
I turned my attention
to the news on TV
tells of mortal affliction
by whatever we see
I felt in myself
such an urgency
that we need each other
so desperately
oh can't you see
it's a long way home
long way home
lets walk together
instead of alone
on this long way home
I thumb through the pages
Of a mighty magazine
full of angry looking pop stars
and airbrushed beauty queens
and next to each picture
is a caption that read
that your life would be better
if you had what we had
and the message grows louder
as we fall further from grace
so lets speak to each other
of a better place
I'm started to think this world is broken
not to be restored before it dies
we are here to keep the whole world hoping
to keep it alive
The lyrics LONG WAY HOME of GINNY OWENS is also present in the album Long way home (2005)
Ginny Owens è una cantautrice americana di musica cristiana contemporanea. Nata a Jackson, Mississippi, è cieca dall'età di due anni. Dopo essersi laureata al Belmont University con una laurea in Educazione musicale, ha scoperto che la maggior parte delle persone era scettica sull'assunzione di un insegnante di musica cieco. Invece si è concentrata nel canto e nella scrittura di canzoni, iniziando a produrre CD dal 1999 con Rocketown Records, un'etichetta sotto Michael W. Smith. La sua musica è stata presentata in programmi televisivi come Roswell e Felicity. Owens ha anche ricevuto tre premi Dove, tra cui New Artist of the Year (2000). Nel gennaio 2005, Ginny Owens ha avviato un'organizzazione non profit chiamata Fingerprint Initiative. L'organizzazione ha lavorato in collaborazione con altri gruppi, come Compassion International, The International Justice Mission e Habitat for Humanity. Ginny Owens è stata ospite su CNN per parlare dell'organizzazione e dei loro sforzi per ricostruire New Orleans dopo l'uragano Katrina.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
