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

Today, it’s tuesday,
And I’m getting out,

Instead of crying, crying,

Crying in my bed.

Outside, it’s cold,

My hands are shivering.

You are in front of me.

I’m telling you, after many years,

All my love.
And that you made me suffer.

Yesterday, it was tuesday,
I told you all I can,

And now I’m free.

Yeah, it was outside, in the cold,

You were in front of me.

I’m telling you, after many years

All my love.

And you said nothing.
