It's been a long time since you saw your home
|
Even those you call the closest
|
Have slipped away somehow
|
Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road
|
With so many miles behind you
|
You'd think you'd have left this world by now
|
|
You've seen more than they could ever know
|
No matter what they say
|
You've earned the right to be so bold
|
But this life it takes its toll on you
|
Every face around you looks so tired and so old
|
|
And you have not seen everything
|
You have not seen everything
|
|
But there are things that you know
|
Things that you know
|
From where you've had to go
|
Where you've had to go
|
Maybe soon you'll find a place
|
To call your own
|
To call your home
|
|
You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes
|
'Til your legs could walk no further
|
And your tired soles would burn
|
You know there's peace somewhere around the bend
|
It's been a long time coming
|
And you're ready for your turn
|
|
And you have not seen everything
|
You have not seen everything
|
|
But there are things that you know
|
Things that you know
|
From where you've had to go
|
Where you've had to go
|
Maybe soon you'll find a place
|
To call your own
|
