Wish I were with you, but I couldn't stay Every direction leads me away Pray for tomorrow, but for today All I want Is to be home Stand in the mirror, you look the same Just looking for shelter from the cold and the pain Someone to cover, safe from the rain And all I want Is to be home The echoes and silence, patience and grace All of these moments I'll never replace No fear of my heart, absence of faith All I want Is to be home People I've loved, I have no regrets Some I remember, some I forget Some of them living, some of them dead All I want Is to be home.
