Acoustic guitar set the stage for this thoughtful ballad that speaks to us all.
Story behind the song
I was looking toward the day when the work is done and our tired old bodies are left behind. We're all going home, wherever it may be.
Lyrics
We walk slowly, arm in arm
Survivors of crazy, trying times
Time has dimmed our sight and shadows have crossed our hearts
Oh but feel how the sun shines
And calls us home
My soulmate, for you my heart still swells
And bravely we embrace what is to come
We must use this time well
Before we are pictures in our childrens homes
So lay next to me and blow out the light
As we swing on the anchor with the tide
Whisper your fears to me and we
Will quiet them with our dreams
Of Going Home
So lay next to me my cherished one
Underneath this Southern Cross
Magical as the midnight sun
Feel the tide pulling us home
We're going home
We're going home
We're all going home
Like the moon, the stars, the sky;
We're all going home
We're all going home
Like the moon, the stars, the sky;
We're all going home
We're all going home
Like the moon, the stars, the sky;
We're all going home
