The road is long, but I know the way
Through fields of gold and skies of gray
The trees all lean, like they've heard my name
And the wind just whispers, it's all the same
I've carried years, I've carried miles
With heavy steps and fleeting smiles
But every turn, and every stone
Brings me closer, closer to home
I've seen the world turn, watched it spin in the dark
But I keep walking, searching for that spark
Every mile pulls me closer, though I'm chasing the wind
Still, I know where I'm headed, to where it begins
The river bends, just out of sight
It calls me softly in the night
Its song is old, its voice is clear
And I keep walking, drawing near
The path is worn, the gate swings wide
I see the place where I used to hide
With every breath, I leave the past
And find my way, back home at last
I've seen the world turn, watched it spin in the dark
But I keep walking, searching for that spark
Every mile pulls me closer, though I'm chasing the wind
Still, I know where I'm headed, back to where I've been
There's no parade, no lights to see
But something here belongs to me
A quiet peace, a soft embrace
I'm finally home, in this sacred place
I've watched the world change, spinning under my feet
But I've found my place, where the earth and sky meet
Every step brought me closer, though shadows may rise
Now I'm home in the light, with clear open skies
