When I was younger
My life was torn asunder
And I was carried far away

Now somewhere in the distance
I feel a strange insistance
I long to be there once again

The day is drawing nearer
The time has come to leave here
The feeling just keeps gettin' stronger every day

So I pray for the moment when I'll be with you
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true
When the time we've spent waitin' is finally through
I'll be home again

I can still remember
Days that never ended
Standin' on a distant shore

With every raindrop fallin'
I hear the thunder callin'
Like so many times before

Sometimes in the darkness
I hear what my heart says
Maybe one day I'll know what that feelings for

So I wait for the moment when I'll be with you
And all that we hoped for is all comin' true
The time we've spent waitin' is finally through
I'll be home again

When you're out there on your own
It can chill you to the bone
There's a cold wind blowin'
But it feels good knowin'
The worst is over now - I'm finally goin' home

It's gettin' stronger
Can't wait any longer
