It's been a long time since you saw your home   Even those you call the closest   Have slipped away somehow   Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road   With so many miles behind you   You'd think you'd have left this world by now      You've seen more than they could ever know   No matter what they say   You've earned the right to be so bold   But this life it takes its toll on you   Every face around you looks so tired and so old      And you have not seen everything   You have not seen everything      But there are things that you know   Things that you know   From where you've had to go   Where you've had to go   Maybe soon you'll find a place   To call your own   To call your home      You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes   'Til your legs could walk no further   And your tired soles would burn   You know there's peace somewhere around the bend   It's been a long time coming   And you're ready for your turn      And you have not seen everything   You have not seen everything      But there are things that you know   Things that you know   From where you've had to go   Where you've had to go   Maybe soon you'll find a place   To call your own   To call your home
