Going Home

~

In this place I stay

It doesn’t feel like home

So I know I’ll be leaving

To another place I know, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing through

So I don’t mind

If the bed’s hard

Or if the foods cold

I’ll make do, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing through

I’m from a place that’s Royal

There everything’s the Best

But for now it doesn’t matter

I’ll just wait here in Rest, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing through

While I’m waiting

If I can help you

I’ll be of service

If there’s anything I can do, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing though

You go ahead of me if you want to

I don’t mind the waiting

I’m in no hurry now

But soon I’ll be flying, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing though

If you need it you can have it,

I have all I need at Home

There’s nothing here

I hold too tightly, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing though

Why sure I have time

If you want to stay awhile

We can talk of where I’m going

Where Love wears no watch you know, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing though

You want to come along?

Great, but the ride’s not free

You must exchange all decaying

For that which you cannot see, because

This is not our Home

We’re just passing though

When all around is sorrow

How do I hold onto Joy?

It’s not too hard to find

If you look beyond what you can see, because

This is not my Home

I’m just passing though

Soon I’ll be leaving

And I pray that you’ll come along with me too.
