Long Way Home

歌詞

I was five years old When they came and took my daddy away. Momma said, "He'll be back home a year from today. I know you're young but I hope you understand, These are the kind of things that happen to a man." ... oooooh... I see her talkin' but I can't hear nothing; Sweet salvation cover me. Refrain: Take me where I long to be, Pick up and carry me; Oh, I need your love It's such a long way home. Even though I fall sometimes, Nothing here can change my mind. Lord, I need your love, It's such a long way home. Daddy cried, "Boy you'd better come home right now. Momma's gone, Sickness took her down. I know you're young, But I hope you understand, These are the kind of things that happen to a man." ... ooooh... I see him talkin' but I don't hear nothin'; Lookin' round but I can't see. I touch fear but I feel nothin'; Sweet salvation cover me. (Refrain) All this pain locked up inside of me, On my knees I prayed you'd set me free. "I know you hurt, But I really do understand; I'm the one who held your pain when I became a man." Speak to me so I hear something, Turn my eyes so I can see. You touch fear and I feel something, Sweet salvation cover me. (Refrain)
