I haven’t been home But I’m on my way I’m not selfless enough But I try, I pray And I know there’s One Who feels my strife Who stood in my place And gave his life
But I haven’t seen him Since a long time ago Though he’s here Yeah, I know And I’ve been sick We all are now Sometimes I can’t wait To take my bow
From this play we’re in But that ain’t right I know I have to Stay and fight Because there’s something good Left worth fighting for A brilliant light On a distant shore
A place, a state of mind or more That paradise we lost before So I’ll pick myself up With a helping hand And head on back To the promised land
