Life it just goes on when the traveler's gone   And that's the hardest part, for time has no respect   For a lonely man with a longing heart   'Cause once you're where you've wanted, everything's so fast      But I'll be home soon   I'll be home soon      And if you have a place where you belong   You're a lucky one, for time was meant to waste   A laugh with good old friends or walking hand in hand   I can't believe I'll be there and this time I can stay      But I'll be home soon   I'll be home soon      So chariot come, swing low 'cause I'm hard to see   So far below, 'cause this place tries so hard   To break a man and I've tried to stand   But I'm drowning in its sorrows, need to catch my breath      But I'll be home soon   I'll be home soon
