Had it all one day
Threw it all away
Took my leave with no good bye
Bought some company
Bragged that we were free
Laughed and looked death in the eye

Even far away
In a foreign place
Where the hungers gnawed my soul
Still my heart would long
For love's old sweet song
And a fire when the nights were cold

There's a road somewhere
There's an open door
There's a hill where the green grass grows
There's a family feast
Where there's joy and peace
Going back to a place called hope

Fickle friends are gone
Wasted years are long
And regret can bring you low
But there's a swift embrace
There's amazing grace
There's a place where lost sons go

There's a road somewhere
There's an open door
There's a hill where the green grass grows
There's a family feast
Where there's joy and peace
Going back to a place called hope

Going back to a place called hope
