GOING HOME

Going home, going home,

I'm a-going home.

Quiet like some still day,

I'm just going home.

It's not far, just close by,

through an open door.

Work all done, cares laid by,

going to fear no more.

Mother's there expecting me,

brothers and sister waiting, too.

Lots of folk gathered there,

all the friends I knew.

Morning star lights the way,

restless dream all done.

Shadows gone, break of day,

real life just begun.

There's no break, there's no end,

just a living on.

Wide awake, with a smile,

going on and on.

Going home, going home,

I'm just going home.

It's not far, just close by,

through an open door.

I’m a-going home.
