Hot sun, lazy days,Day dreamin’ in the summer haze,Slowin’ down and losing track of time.
Warm nights an ice cold beer,Nothing but the crickets singing in my ear,It feels good to be back home again.
It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,Just two kids falling in love,Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,It was all so long ago,But there’s no place quite like home.
Married now, with a couple a kids,Oh time flies but that’s the way it is,Where did those 25 years go?
Sometimes going back,Is the only way to keep your present day on track,You need to see how far you've come.
It’s been too long since we came back to where it all began,Just two kids falling in love,Makin’ plans to run away and start a life out on our own,It was all so long ago,But there’s no place quite like home.

Only six years old, I already knew,How my life would be, what I was gonna do,Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,There was nothing in this world stopping me.
Fast forward to my early teens,I'd given up on the childhood dream,Sick of trying to fit in at school,Always being different and never being cool,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That I could be six years old again.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are.
Started working at the local store,A good job, but wanted so much more,Too big for a small town,But not knowing how to break down all the doors,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That things would change.
Didn't wanna meet mister right,Didn't need another reason to end up tied,Won't settle for settling down,When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,Needed to remember the time.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.

Leaves are green and green is go, Let’s go where there is hope, Take those thoughts from off your brow, They've been there for too long, Cause we are rising lights, Like sunrise ends the night.
Come with me, I'll take you there, I'll show you where serenity is, Rest your head upon the leaves, Where have been my dear, We're going home, We're going home.
There are people we have been that we don't recognise, Clear this urban fog out from my breath and from my eyes, Cause we are rising lights, The morning comes alive.
Come with me, I'll take you there, I'll show you where serenity is, Rest your head upon the leaves, Where have been my dear, We're going home.
Come with me, I'll take you there, I'll show you where serenity is, Rest your head upon the leaves, Where have been my dear, We're going home, We're going home.

In my lifetime, I've seen summers go by, Frozen winters, shells adrift on the tide.
Taking hold of yourself when no one else will, I am always the last one to leave here, And although we can’t sleep, although we can't dream, Oh we'll live forever, We will live forever.
I will drift by like a moth to the flame, Journey onwards, ‘till I see you again.

Verse 1

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go.

Chorus
I'm going there to meet my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.

Verse 2

I know dark clouds
Will gather round me
I know my way
Is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields
Lie just before me
Where god’s redeemed their vigils keep

Chorus

I'm going there to meet my mother

She said she’d meet me

When I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home.
I'm only going over home

Drown me out, I can’t hear you nowMy body left my heart when you left the roomDon’t look at the time, don’t look at your phoneJust follow me outta here into the unknownHelp me waste our time
I’m calling you up, I’m telling you nowThat I can’t go on this wayHey hey hey, what do you say to thisYou and I forever lost in usHere comes the sunAnd honey we’re still young
Help me out, I can’t bear this nowThe loneliness has broken me in twoAm I fool? Am I a fool for you?The only thing that keeps me hereIs knowing there’s a chance that you couldHelp me waste our time
I’m calling you up, I’m telling you nowThat I can’t go on this wayHey hey hey, what do you say to thisYou and I forever lost in usHere comes the sunAnd honey we’re still young
I’m calling you up, I’m telling you nowThat I can’t go on this wayHey hey hey, what do you say to thisYou and I forever lost in usHere comes the sunHere comes the sunAnd honey we’re still young

No one else around
Could lift me from the ground.
I’d lie here safe and sound
Like I had got nowhere to go.
Faith had come and gone,
Left nothing but a song
The world keeps rolling on and on and on.

But all I saw was you once more
And all my thoughts came flooding.

All that I had dreamed
Was always you and me.
You are all I’d ever want
All I’d ever want making memories.
All that we had seen
And all this left between
You are all I’d ever want
All I’d ever want standing next to me.

No one else besides
Could see me from the sky
You’d lift me, my oh my
And fly me off to worlds above.
Finally, it seems
You’re all I’d ever need
And I’ll that I had dreamed was rolling on and on and on.
