Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home

Quiet like, some still day, I'm just goin' home

It's not far, just close by, through an open door

Work all done, care laid by

Going to fear no more

Mother's there, expecting me

Father's waiting too

Lots of folks gathered there

All the friends I knew



Nothin's lost, all is gain

No more fret or pain

No more stumblin' on the way

No more longin' for the day

Goin' to roam no more



Morning star lights the way

Restless dream all done

Shadows gone, break of day

Real life just begun

There's no break, There's no end

I'll be living on.

Wide awake with a smile, going on and on

Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home



It's not far, just close by, through an open door

I'll be goin' home, I'll be goin' home

I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home

Lord I'm goin' home
