I'm Going Home
Journey of Redemption: Michael the Band's Reflective Anthem
Lyrics
Won't you give me just a minute
Expressing a request for a brief moment of attention
To explain how I became a misanthrope
Describing the speaker's transformation into a person who dislikes humanity
I've been all over this big blue world and
Indicating extensive travel experiences around the world
I'm Hardly given any hope
Conveying a sense of disillusionment and lack of optimism
I've seen the beggars in the Vatican
Observing impoverished individuals in a symbolically significant location (Vatican)
Under the opulent monuments
Noting the contrast between wealth (monuments) and poverty
I've seen the piles of our garbage that
Highlighting the enduring impact of human waste
Will never really go away
Expressing skepticism about solving environmental issues
What are we doing
Posing a rhetorical question about humanity's actions
Where the fuck are we going
Expressing uncertainty about the direction of human progress
I'm going Home
Declaring the speaker's intention to go home
I can hardly comprehend it
Expressing difficulty in understanding or accepting a situation
It's a feeling that will never go to waste
Stating that certain emotions or experiences are valuable and enduring
We are the Sons and Daughters
Identifying the speaker and others as descendants of those who lost something important
Of the ones who finally let it get away
Reflecting on the consequences of letting something valuable slip away
No more detrimental compromises
Advocating for no more damaging compromises
No more bats in the cave
Rejecting negative influences or thoughts (bats in the cave)
No more victims of our Fathers' vices
Rejecting being victims of the mistakes or flaws of previous generations
Bite the hand of the depraved
Encouraging resistance against harmful influences
What are we doing
Repeating the earlier question about humanity's actions
Where the fuck are we going
Reiterating uncertainty about the direction of human progress
I'm going Home
Reaffirming the speaker's intention to go home
Pry, Push, Pull through
Repetition of the idea to pry, push, pull through time, hold onto what was in you to continue, emphasizing perseverance
Time to hold to
-What was in You

-Pry, Push, Pull through

-What was in You
