A Long Way

There's a time in our lives

To return, sacrifice

Wild grass has grown high

On the path between our lives

There's a light in the trees

Closer now, I'm on my knees

Oh, Father

Forgive me, please

'Cause I came a long, long way back home

To see you one more time

'Cause I came a long, long way back home

To see you and say goodbye

Father's hands work the ground

Turns the soil, lays it down

Everything is done and said

Lives beyond the quick and the dead

Heritage passed along

To the sons like a blessed song

So raise your voices

On high tonight

'Cause we came a long, long way back home

To see you one more time

We came a long, long way back home

To see you and say goodbye

We came a long, long way back home

To see you one more time

We came a long, long way back home

To hold you and say goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye
