I know the smiles of familiar faces 
 I've spent my life here 
 In familiar places 
    So I went down to Africa 
 I saw the pain 
 In the heart of a nation 
 In desperation   
 Now I'm living in my own dispair 
 I'm a traveler on faith 
 But that vision in my mind 
 Can take a long long time 
 So I've got to wait   
 I read the books 
 On the way to each station 
 But all I took down 
 Was some false information   
 So I went down to Israel 
 I saw the lights 
 In the land of creation 
 The fascination   
 Of living in my own dispair 
 I'm a traveler on faith 
 But that vision in my mind 
 Can take a long long time 
 So I've got to wait 
 Yeah I've got to wait   
 I heard the wall in Berlin fall 
 I walked right through 
 Looking for salvation 
 For the new generation   
 Now I'm living in my own dispair 
 A traveler on faith 
 But that vision in my mind 
 Will take a long long time 
 So I've got to wait
