Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey
In the land where ancient curses lie.
I could seek my Home above the sky.
I could ask these questions, meant for me:
Why does lonesome fear enslave the free?
Why would I traverse my lonely path,
When the trail incites such fearful wrath?
When all this time I knew the Hand of God.
Would rescue me from my hollow facade.
Would I resolve to love and not to hate,
If I knew it would lead to Heaven's gate?
If I knew how my heart sought better days.
In time I'd leave my world of empty praise.
In the land where ancient curses lie.
I could swear to live and not to die.
