Mother please forgive me
but I must do this on my own
You have always given me
the love to make me strong
Father you have shown me
the way to be a man
I promise to use these virtues
everyday the best that I can

Mother please forgive me
but I must do this on my own
If the road ever gets too tired,
I'm gonna find my way back home

Sister with your smile
you know you make me smile too
Brothers we got to stick together
because I see myself in you
My friends I thank you kindly
and wherever we might roam
If the road ever gets too tired,
I'm gonna find my way back home

Mother please forgive me
but I must do this on my own
If the road ever gets too tired,
I'm gonna find my way back home
