How much can a man really take?
When he's pushed himself too far
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star
How many times have I seen him fall?
How many times? Too many to recall
Come on home
He left his home in search of his soul
A many miles he did travel
Towards the east and distant shores
For the mystery of life to unravel
And many wondrous sights he did see while passing through those lands
But he cast a shadow deep and long across the moving sands
How much can a man really take?
When he's pushed himself too far
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star
How many times have I seen him fall?
How many times? Too many to recall
Fate was about to deal him a card
from the bottom of the pack
And he met his end in fair Nepal
with a dagger in his back
So raise up your eyes and see that angel in the sky
And remember when you're searchin' for your soul you're searchin' for to die
How much can a man really take?
When he's pushed himself too far
He knows that his mind is on the break
And he's trying to reach that star
How many times have I seen him fall?
How many times? Too many to recall
Come on home
Come on home
Got to get on home
