Life it just goes on When the traveler's gone And that's the hardest part Cause time has no respect For a lonely man With a longing heart Cause once you're where you've wanted Everything's so fast But I'll be home soon I'll be home soon And if you have a place Where you belong You're a lucky one For time was meant to waste A laugh with good, old friends Or walking hand in hand I can't believe I'll be there And this time I can say I'll be home soon I'll be home soon So chariot come and swing low Cause I'm hard t osee So far below And this place tries so hard To break a man But I've tried to stand But I'm drowning in its sorrows I need to catch my breath But I'll be home soon I'll be home soon
