Homeward Journey

Cover me when I am dead
Put a pillow under my head
Shut my eyes when I still look at you
That’s what I want you to do
I saved this moment just for you to be with me when my time is through

I’m going back where I belong
My homeward journey
I have waited all along for this single moment
I lift up on higher ground
I’m gliding slowly to the last resort that is just reserved for me

Kiss my lips and say goodnight
Close the door, switch off the light
Make sure that we are alone in this sacred moment when I go home
Caress my hands and get close to me
Start to hum silently

I’m going back where I belong
My homeward journey
I have waited all along for this single moment
I lift up on higher ground
I’m gliding slowly to the last resort that is just reserved for me

There is no use to cry or the be afraid that I am not prepared or too late
Take my hand and sing to me the promised never ending melody

There is something I think you should know
I want to ease my mind before I go
There were times I lost my way to get here to the judgment day
I looked for you to be my guide while you were here still by my side

I’m going back where I belong
My homeward journey
I have waited all along for this single moment
I lift up on higher ground
I’m gliding slowly to the last resort that is just reserved for me
