The Journey Home (text)
After all those Years,
And after all those Tears
The time has come
To face those fears
It’s been so long since
I have been home,
Do I really want to do it, all alone?
The hopes, the dreams are really strong
But will I feel like I belong?
I wonder when I finally get home
If I will call it home.
It will be a long Journey,
With many tears and many fears.
It wont be the same, that’s for sure,
How could it be after all these years,
So is it right to face those fears.
The Fears are there, they run so deep
You know they will make you weep
There are some things you cannot keep
The fears are real, you just can’t sleep
All you want to do is Weep.
The Journey Home was Oh so sweet
But the sadness runs so deep.
