Going Home

I came from where I'm going Up around the bend I made it back from heaven Not sure how long it's been In life there is no circles The lines they are obscured I felt a pull inside me A calling is what I heard The road it was a rough one Back when I was young The devil had a hold of The soul that I had owned He promised me the world Then took me down the small dark hole He showed me that the good times Don't come from God's laws The people are now different Than they were before The town is now a city This place where I was born But in the years I noticed As time had past me by Hell is closer Than the eyes realize I worried that I waited I waited much to long I convinced myself that heaven Was a walk I couldn't do alone Then the moment came My mind left it's home I severed all the life lines All the ones I had known Then a voice from the darkness Came and said to me If you believe in the light Than I will set you free Forget the pain your feeling For mercy is what I know I have always loved you child And have never left you alone So remember where you came from And where you will go Just believe in the light You will never be alone My Angels will guide you I'm the Father of you all If you will only choose me I promise I'll bring you home
