The Road Home
- The Road Home -
A Song about Faith
Why can’t we remember the way that the sun shines?
Why can’t we go back to a simpler time?
It is only too late when we give up what we hold dear,
It is the time for us to draw ourselves near!
The road winds forever, when you are far from home,
The road is the longest when you walk it alone.
Magic is not distant; we have lost it through our lies…
Magic is within us; let it take you where it flies!
Follow the road home!
Follow the way you know.
Don’t listen to the doubters,
For they are the cowards!
Where is the song that the angels were singing,
Where is the sound of the music that was ringing?
Still in the shadows, waiting for the moment to arise,
Still in the distance, there waits the blessed sunrise!
So far from home, how can we find the way back?
So far from peace, below skies growing so black…
The children are praying while we keep walking.
Too many decisions, and way too much talking!
Follow the road home!
Follow the way you know.
Don’t listen to the doubters,
For they are the cowards!
Why can’t we remember the way that it used to be?
Why can’t we go back just to yesterday?
It is only too late when we give up the hope we hold,
It is the time to come back within the fold!
The road winds forever, when you have lost the faith,
The road is the longest when down is your face.
Hope is not distant; we have lost it through our cries…
Hope is within us; let it take you beyond the skies!
Follow the road home!
Follow the way you know.
Don’t listen to the doubters,
For they are the cowards!
Where is the game that the children were playing,
Where is the peace that we just keep on delaying?
Still in the shadows, waiting for us to open our eyes,
Still in the distance, past where the wind still sighs!
So far from home, how can we find the way again?
So far from peace that we can no longer condemn…
The angels are praying while we keep dreaming,
We have but to listen, and stop all our screaming!
Follow the road home!
Follow the way you know.
Don’t listen to the doubters,
For they are the cowards!

Glad you liked it, Grace! It's my first new song in a while, though it's based on an older poem I wrote back years ago. :)
