there’s a time in our lives to return, sacrifice wild grass has grown high on the path between our lives there’s a light in the trees it’s closer now, i’m on my knees oh father, forgive me, please
i came a long, long way back home to see you one more time ‘cause i came a long, long way back home to see you and say goodbye
father’s hands work the ground turns the soil, lays it down everything done and said lives beyond the quick and the dead heritage passed along to the sons like a blessed song so raise your voices on high tonight
we came a long, long way back home to see you one more time ‘cause we came a long, long way back home to see you and say goodbye to hold you and say goodbye, goodbye
