Going home, going home I'm just going home Quiet light, some still day I'm just going home It's not far, just close by Through an open door Work all done, care laid by Going to fear no more Mother's there expecting me Father's waiting, too Lots of folk gathered there All the friends I knew All the friends I knew I'm going home Nothing's lost, all's gain No more fret nor pain No more stumbling on the way No more longing for the day Going to roam no more Morning star lights the way Restless dream all done Shadows gone, break of day Real life begun There's no break, there's no end Just a living on Wide awake with a smile Going on and on Going home, going home I'm just going home It's not far, just close by Through an open door I am going home I'm just going home Going home, going home
