The Way Back Home

There are choices that we sometimes make

and things we should have said

There are roads we travel carelessly

and those we fear to tread

All the times you held me up

all the times I let you down

All the times I should have rose above

yet chose to play the clown

I’ll always remember all the stories you would tell

And I may not be able to cast that kind of spell

There’s so much you taught me O

f all the lessons I’ve been shown

I won’t forget the way back home

Next time I might get it right

In a different circumstance

I would do it all again

Just have a second chance

I’ll always remember all the stories you would tell

And I may not be able to cast that kind of spell

There’s so much you taught me O

f all the lessons I’ve been shown

I won’t forget the way back home

I stare into the distance

and a tear comes to my eye

I carry forward all I can

There’s much to rectify

I reach across the distance

And hope to see a sign

Everyday I hear your voice

But can you still hear mine?

 

I’ll always remember all the stories you would tell

And I may not be able to cast that kind of spell

There’s so much you taught me O

f all the lessons I’ve been shown

I won’t forget the way back home

I won’t forget the way back home
