Song for Home

I’ve spent my life out on the road
Those miles and nights have put their weight inside these bones
The sun is set; the day is done
No matter how you stall, the night will surely come
———————-
And now I’m never going back
as the world it spins into the black
———————-
I have felt a lot of pain
Proof enough that I’ve been dealt a lot of change
Ain’t it funny that if you go
in the same direction long enough, you return home
———————-
Now I’m never going back
as the world it spins into the black
———————-
It’s a long way
no matter how I choose to navigate
It’s a long day
wishin’ I had it back when it starts to fade
———————-
And the longer I wait
the more it seems life can change in the blink of eye
———————-
“Blood is thicker,” some might say,
“than water at the end of the day”
I knew exactly what they meant
but they forgot the part about the covenant
———————-
Now I’m never going back
as the world it spins into the black
———————-
It’s a long way
no matter how I choose to navigate
It’s a long day
Where will I be when it starts to fade
What will the sun bring to me the next day
Where’ll I be when the seasons change
———————-
I took the long way back home
Those miles and nights have put their weight inside these songs
