Heart don’t fail me now,

courage don’t desert me,
don’t turn back now that we’re here.

People always say

life is full of choices,

no one ever mentions fear.


Or how the world can seem so vast

on a journey…

to the past.

Somewhere down this road,

I know someone’s waiting,
years of dreams just can’t be wrong.

Arms will open wide

I’ll be safe and wanted

finally home where I belong.

Well, starting now I’m learning fast,

on this journey…

to the past.

Home, love, family,

there was once a time I must have had them too.


Home, love, family,

I will never be complete until I find you.

One step at a time,

one hope, then another,
who knows where this road may go?

Back to who I was,

on to find my future,

things my heart still needs to know

Yes, let this be a sign,

let this road be mine,

let it lead me to my past.

And bring me home…
at last!
