When I was up in Canada, I didn't have much money
My toes were cold and my clothes had holes
My nose was kinda runny
I met this longhair on the street
He said, "Look, you look like you'd like to eat"
I said, "A glass of Coke and a hot dog's fine"
He said, "Well, how 'bout some bread and a glass of wine?"

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired by my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired by my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

He took a loaf of Wonder bread, and then he bowed his head
And then he filled my cup, "Drink it up, my friend "
It tasted better than the health food blend
He looked into my eyes - I was quite surprised!
He said, "You're locked inside but I can set you free
And you will live forever if you follow me"

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired by my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired by my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

When I was up in Canada, I didn't have much money
My toes were cold and my clothes had holes
My nose was kinda runny
I met this longhair on the street
He said, "Look, you look like you'd like to eat"
I said, "A glass of Coke and a hot dog's fine"
He said, "Well, how 'bout some bread and a glass of wine?"

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired by my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired by my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing
