Lyrics
I never had to wonder, never had to care
I never stopped to think about was anybody there
I’ve always gone my own way, wherever I did roam
Comes a time you realize you’re never far from home
Ties that bind, ties that bind
You can’t break those ties that bind
Although I know one day you’ll find
That you can leave the past behind
You can’t break those ties that bind
It’s never very easy, it’s never very clear
And sometimes when you’re far away it seems to disappear
No matter where you’re going, no matter where you’ve been
You can always find a road to bring you home again
Ties that bind, ties that bind
You can’t break those ties that bind
Although I know one day you’ll find
That you can leave the past behind
You can’t break those ties that bind
And though you’ll never know just how it’s gonna end
There’s a road and there’s still time
And I do believe I see a light on up ahead
Let it shine, let it shine
Ties that bind, ties that bind
You can’t break those ties that bind
Although I know one day you’ll find
That you can leave the past behind
You can’t break those ties that bind
