Put me out in the rain
The dirt washes away
And the water runs clear
Once I've had a nights sleep
Help me up to my feet
And show me away from here
I will follow the road
Help me carry my load
And together we'll go
And with peace in my mind
One more mountain to climb
Then at last, you will know
Take me back
Take me back to my homeland, bring me all the way home
Take me back
I want to lay on my front porch, I'm too tired to roam
Take me back
When we're safe in that country you can stand where I've stood
And I'll show you I came from something good
When I knocked at your door
I was feeble, unsure
But you met me with a gracious heart
And through the blackest of nights
You helped to show me the light
And my despair was ripped apart
Though the weight pulls me down
I was lost now I'm found
Cause I have you by my side
Through the fog and the rain
I can push through the pain
Cause with you I'm alive
Take me back
Take me back to my homeland, bring me all the way home
Take me back
I want to lay on my front porch, I'm too tired to roam
Take me back
When we're safe in that country you can stand where I've stood
And I'll show you I came from something good
Take me back
Take me back to my homeland, bring me all the way home
Take me back
I want to lay on my front porch, I'm too tired to roam
Take me back
When we're safe in that country you can stand where I've stood
I'll show you I came from something good
