lyrics
[Verse 1]
All lands fell to gray
Fences bent in the rain
Every road back home
Led to hunger and pain
Old Paul found a rumor
Carried on the wire
About a President
Bringing law to the fire
[Pre-Chorus]
He looked at the children
By the broken gate
Said, "Hold on a little longer
We ain't done with fate"
Maps in his hands
Hope in his eyes
He could hear that future
Calling through the lies
[Chorus]
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
With a steady hand
We'll make it strong
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
Where the fields wake up
And the good days come
[Verse 2]
He walked through the ruins
Past the busted signs
Told every settler
"You still got time"
Shored up the walls
Mended the seams
Put a name on tomorrow
And a roof on dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
He looked at the children
By the broken gate
Said, "Hold on a little longer
We ain't done with fate"
Maps in his hands
Hope in his eyes
He could hear that future
Calling through the lies
[Chorus]
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
With a steady hand
We'll make it strong
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
Where the fields wake up
And the good days come
[Bridge]
Now the night don't own us
Not like it did before
There's a light on every porch
And a guard at every door
The old roads remember
What the lost ones knew
When one man believes it
A whole world comes through
[Final Chorus]
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
With a steady hand
We'll make it strong
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
Where the fields wake up
And the good days come
All lands fell to gray
Fences bent in the rain
Every road back home
Led to hunger and pain
Old Paul found a rumor
Carried on the wire
About a President
Bringing law to the fire
[Pre-Chorus]
He looked at the children
By the broken gate
Said, "Hold on a little longer
We ain't done with fate"
Maps in his hands
Hope in his eyes
He could hear that future
Calling through the lies
[Chorus]
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
With a steady hand
We'll make it strong
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
Where the fields wake up
And the good days come
[Verse 2]
He walked through the ruins
Past the busted signs
Told every settler
"You still got time"
Shored up the walls
Mended the seams
Put a name on tomorrow
And a roof on dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
He looked at the children
By the broken gate
Said, "Hold on a little longer
We ain't done with fate"
Maps in his hands
Hope in his eyes
He could hear that future
Calling through the lies
[Chorus]
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
With a steady hand
We'll make it strong
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
Where the fields wake up
And the good days come
[Bridge]
Now the night don't own us
Not like it did before
There's a light on every porch
And a guard at every door
The old roads remember
What the lost ones knew
When one man believes it
A whole world comes through
[Final Chorus]
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
With a steady hand
We'll make it strong
Old Paul, take us home
Old Paul, lead us on
Where the fields wake up
And the good days come
