Verse 1: You can lead a man to water, but you can not make
him drink. You can lead a man to college, but you can not make him think. And
you can lead a man to ruin if he isn’t very smart and you can lead a man in
circles if he doesn’t know where to start.
Chorus: But you can’t lead
him home. Home is just a state of mind. No, you can’t lead him home, especially
if the journey’s made him blind.
Verse 2: You can lead a
man astray if he doesn’t have the will. You can lead a man to surrender if he’s
lost his urge to kill. And you can lead a man to heaven if he’s been through
hell and you can lead a man to sing you things he’ll never tell.
Chorus:
Bridge: And he’s lost his way. And he’s lost the key. And he’s
lost his nerve, like me.
Verse 3: You can lead a
revolution. You can lead men to war. You can lead men to the battle, doesn’t
matter what their fighting for. And you can lead them to be heroes. You can lead
them to be brave. You can lead them to the safety of their restful, peaceful
graves.
Chorus:
Bridge:
