lyrics

Oh God, I’ve been wandering on this road
I’ve got your flag on my shoulder and it’s unfurled
I know this place will never be my home
I couldn’t find it if eighty years I roamed
And tonight, I’m gonna lay my head somewhere else
But it won’t be the end
I will wake, there’s so much more to go
I will continue on my road toward home

I’m always going home.

Oh God, I will never be alone
I’ve got you by my side all while you’re on your throne
I’ve been praying for someone to walk beside
Who’s got your heart, a flag, a brain, could I
Be so bold as to ask for the very best
I know you’ve promised it, so I am not distressed
But God my soul is heavy underneath
I bear my cross, when will I find relief?

When will I find relief?
I’m always going home.

Oh God, you’ve given me some dreams
I’ll be whatever you want, but this I want to be.
I see myself traveling the land
I see myself in a little band
I see myself living with a wife
I see myself living free of strife
I see myself singing really loud
I see myself singing to a crowd
I see myself teaching them bout you
I see myself rolling with a crew
I see myself writing all these books
I see myself taking second looks
At all these things that I really believe
Because the truth, the truth will set you free
And now I know, I know without a doubt
That I will win, yes I will make it out

I will make it out
I’m always going home.

Oh God, disappointed once again
Oh God, I’ve lost my way again
Oh God, please come and rescue me
Oh God, cause I am on my knees

Oh God, please keep my family safe.
Keep all my tired friends awake
When they are out there on the road
Let all the ones who don’t know you, know.
Amen.
