Lyrics

I am a man of destiny with only one good shirt
I'm not afraid to deal in the dark
Yonder up over that mountain pass my hands were full of dirt
I held a white stone that began to spark
Through all the trumpets, ashes and tears, that's all I have
From sanctuary down to the street
I packed up my suitcase, took my head out of the sand
This part of the journey is near complete
When I step onto my native soil, Ohio
I'll breathe the new breath of the dawn
Even though I'm a little bit lonely these days
There's an echo of a voice
That'll carry on so far beyond
It's the wind that's calling for justice as it's rolling down the hills
In the presence of death
I'll be more than I am now, the signal gives me the chills
The truth penetrates into the depths
When I step onto my native soil, Ohio
I'll breathe the new breath of the dawn
Even though I'm a little bit lonely these days
There's an echo of a voice
That'll carry on so far beyond
The trumpets blare, the ashes clear, the tears stream down my face
The white stone declared my new name
Feeling the warmth of the nearness of joy I'm coming to the end of my race
Gold, silver, bronze and rust are the same
When I step onto my native soil, Ohio
I'll breathe the new breath of the dawn
Even though I'm a little bit lonely these days
There's an echo of a voice
That'll carry on so far beyond
When I step onto my native soil, Ohio
I'll breathe the new breath of the dawn
Even though I'm a little bit lonely these days
There's an echo of a voice
That'll carry on when we're long gone
That'll carry on so far beyond
In the thin places it'll carry on
