I recall
The time when you and I would talk a little more
To each other face to face, through love and war
Well I hope there will always be an open door for me
But I know, that home is just some place I always leave behind
It's with me everywhere I go and I close my eyes
I know someday I'll catch you in the by and by, I know
I know
Dear mother
I know I have been away for far too long
Dear mother
Hope you understand me when you hear this song
Cause you taught how to be right in a world of wrong
Gone wrong
But it ain't
Ain't how long you live, it's how you live your life
Burn bright until the grave don't shy away from the light
Cause I won't waste my days
I will use my time
My time, my time
Dear father
I know I have been away for far too long
Dear father
Hope you understand me when you hear this song
Cause you taught how to be right in a world of wrong
Gone wrong
I recall
The time when you and I would talk a little more
To each other face to face, through love and war
Well I hope there will always be an open door for me
